A record garden catch but the species count is still well down. If it wasnt for the usual 3 suspects in the trap, things would be pretty bare...
2139 Red Chestnut 2
2187 Common Quaker 14
2188 Clouded Drab 8
2190 Hebrew Character 39
Total 63 of 4 species.
Something different is bound to pop up soon, I'm sure.
On the bird front, we were woken by a Green Woodpecker yaffling the glass out of the windows at 6.30 this morning. It must have been very close, or even in the garden. I've had a wander around tonight but have still not had a hirundine. Hopefully the weekends high pressure might add a few species to the OFFH list...Willow Warbler surely?

Conditions are looking good for tonight, Wednesday was blank again although I took the trap in once it was raining. Four species would be three more than achieved so far. (Deleted comment to correct it as got my days mixed ...)
Hi Alastair, I'm sure in a few weeks when the temperature rises properly you'll start to catch...
