Out again at Moors Valley Country Park. In less than two hours before the rain stopped play the 125 watt MV lamp over a sheet brought in 74 moths of 38 species. Not too bad I feel. Nothing too special but the short cloaked had me going and the oak eggars scattering eggs everwhere even on the hot bulb.( That must hurt)
