A first !! A Riband Wave-less trap

Another insomniac night laying in bed from 3am waiting for enough light to unload the trap and a pretty dismal catch after all that. Too dim to check things and with so few specimens I potted and fridged the lot and went back to bed with a cuppa to wait for a bit more light. Lots of mixed gulls were heading inland silently but too little light to pick up any Meds with the naked eye.

Despite the worst catch in weeks still two NFGs, The Snout(rather worn) and a Straw Dot plus this nice Peppered  Moth, considerably whiter than the previous few I've had. A Great Spotted Woodpecker called and undulated between the taller trees.

Later at Pulborough five or more Green Sandpipers, Volucella bombylans(the first I've seen for some weeks) and this Grass Snake and Adder curled up together.
