Spent the evening on Beeley Moor with Brian Statham, the wind had dropped significantly and it was still very warm (22 Centigrade). Surprisingly most of the activity was away from the traps with the Billberry bushes and Cow Parsley hosting a variety of active macro's and micro's between 10pm and about 11:30pm when things quietened down. Added Northern Spinach which was one of the commonest moth with about 30 seen and Small Argent and Sable around a dozen seen. Brian also had Red-necked Footman which was unexpected. The trap held 30 or 40 Middle-barred Minor, several July Highflyer and Dusky Brocade.
