Ceredigion Moths – Several New Garden Records
With rain forecast for later in the night I wasn’t sure whether to put the moth trap out, but in the end decided to risk it.
It was fine in the end as I was up at 4am so able to get the trap in before it started raining properly. There was a nice selection of moths in the trap too, including quite a few new garden records.
