Three moths in the trap this morning after a low of 7.5c last night. 1 Hebrew Character, 1 Tortricodes alternella and a Tortrix which I'm fairly sure is Acleris hastiana which, if correct, is a new species for the garden list. This is very variable species however. Photo below-any comments welcome.

At last a Macro Moth. With a low of 7.5c last night there were 3 moths this morning. 1 Common Quaker, 1 Common Plume, and a micro which was probably Depressaria daucella, but it got away before it could be photographed. Well it's a start!

At last a moth. A Tortricodes alternella on the vanes of the trap this morning was the third moth of the year. It would be nice to get a Spring Usher!
