Senghenydd


A poor catch last night - just singletons of Small Quaker and Clouded Drab in the trap and this Shoulder Stripe at house window.

Llangynwyd

                                      My first Eriocrania subpurpurella of the year today.

Cwmbach GMS

Despite the mild-ish night, there were only 12 moths of 6 species (yes, two of each) in the trap, but among the Quakers. Etc, it was nice to see a couple of Shoulder Stripes.
