Some Moths during October

 The overnight weather conditions during the last week have been mild and overcast. This favourable weather for moth-trapping looks set to continue into November. 

Good numbers of interesting migrants are still being recorded in coastal areas of the county but for those of us that are further inland, migrant numbers have fallen away somewhat.
