Moth trap - home and away

Decided to make the extra effort and place my battery LED moth trap out in the countryside. A fairly wild looking field near Baddesley Common looked ideal, and I managed to get the trap into position without being seen, although I did get some strange looks on the way to the field.

Wasn't sure what to expect, as the trap doesn't do particularly well in the garden. However, I needn't have worried, in the morning it had a good selection of moths, about 8 lifers for me including Eyed Hawkmoth and a couple of Fox Moths and Light Brocade. So the trap stayed out there, and I returned with just the battery pack to recharge for another night. My plan is to vary the location and habitat if possible. It should get me some good sightings. As I type this, Saturday night, the batteries have been charged and the trap will turn on after dusk in a sheltered corner of the field.

Also, the MV trap, in my garden got a couple of new micros, plus the tiny Least black arches
