Brockhampton Estate April 22nd

Last night the weather was optimal for moth trapping I think. It stayed mild all through the 3 hour session on the National Trust Brockhampton Estate here in Herefordshire. It's never "busy" at this time of year, but there was a steady influx to the 2 Robinsons running. List below, for those who know their timings, the Common Footman was a larva! 40 species I think and around 238 moths. The garden trap was similar species wise at 39 but fewer moths (1 trap running). My first Alder Kitten, May Highflyer, Grey Birch and Silver Cloud of the year. I'm off abroad this evening to Blenheim Palace in  Oxfordshire so it will be interesting to see how that is comparing Peter Hall
