I wasn't going to run last night, but the wind dropped a little, so I put the trap on for a couple of hours and I'm quite glad i did as both Frosted Orange and Broad bordered yellow Underwing (2) were NFG #mothsmatter #teammoth

Unbelievable numbers here last night. I was overrun with mainly Large YU. I counted 237 but, in reality, probably over 300 due to escapees. Turnip Moth was new, as was this monster. Convolvulus Hawkmoth #teammoth #mothsmatter

I was met with a huge mass of mostly Large yellow Underwings this morning. Almost every available space was taken up in the egg boxes. I counted 237 Large YU but probably over 300

Whinchat at Wyver Lane around top pool. Can't see it from a very overgrown mound, so looking from farm track. Also present GWE, 4 Herons, 68 Teal, Green Sand, and 2 Com Sand. Very poor distant record shots Derbyshire Ornithological Society (DOS) Richard T Taylor Dave Evans Christopher Jackson #derbyshirebirds

I only ran for a couple of hours last night as it wasn't really happening. I did, however, have only my second Diamond back Moth and second Common Wainscot #teammoth #mothsmatter

A little quieter than I had hoped for last night, but I did get my first Brown-spot Pinion. Also, Carcina quercana. #mothsmatter #teammoth
