An excellent night with 149 moths of 17 species.  The most exciting was my first Blossom underwing (NFG), making my species list (macro) to 378. Other notable moths included the Satellite, named because of the two small 'satellite' marks around each of the orange wing slots, like moons around the sun and the Red-green carpet, which is a beautiful moth - just not sure where the 'red' part of its name comes from.

A long way ahead (26 species) of the normal species count at this stage in March.  A combination of the mild winter and the frequency of trapping nights!
