Garden Mothing - 16/05/19 - Signs of improvement!

Finally some moths! After the last four outings varying from 1 to 3 moths, to get double figures was promising indeed.
Better still, 4 were new species for the year.

Conditions were overcast and minimum 7c with little wind, but a few showers at times as it was wet come Friday morning.

Bright-line Brown-eye...Mr consistent or what. Below are the year firsts since 2013.

Bright-line Brown-eye 12/05/13 - 15/05/14 - 10/05/15 - 17/05/15 - 16/05/16 - 15/05/17 - 15/05/18 - 16/05/19

Garden species count for 2019 now upto 74.
