The best forecast of the month deserved various efforts last Monday night. A quick look at the Nunnery Wood CP café lights produced a
Dark Chestnut and an
Agonopterix alstromeriana.

The actinic skinner left in Warndon Wood was buzzing with no less than 63
Small Brindled Beauty by 23:00!

An early
Small Quaker, one Common Quaker, 15 Dotted Border, 3 Pale Brindled Beauty, 3 Spring Usher and 5 Chestnuts made up the rest of the trap count.

A
Red Green Carpet was torched on the western perimeter hedge. The garden Robinson had
Agonopterix heracliana, 2 Common Quaker,
Double-striped Pug and a
Tortricodes alternella. 15 species in mid-February was quite a good result.
