Congratulations Cordaline, 10 lifers and 57 species, that's brilliant!
I'm just going to have to stop reading this thread, it's too depressing!
I just go green with envy when I see all the wonderful moths people have been seeing. Working away from home during the week, there's really only a couple of nights a week when I can put the trap out. At least for the next few weeks I'm taking the Mondays off (instead of a long summer holiday), so I've three nights to choose from. I hope tomorrow night's a good night, as I think it's the only night I can try this weekend (it's the Ivinghoe Beacon WAB meet tomorrow). |
