For the third time this year I put the trap out, but this time success shined upon me. My first two moths in the garden this year.
The first was also a lifer. Clinging to the fence was a
Pale Brindled Beauty. Not an uncommon moth, but as I didn't start mothing in earnest until last April its not surprising that I hadn't seen one before.

The second was in the trap itself, a pristine
Common Quaker. Last April this was one of the commonest captures, but its great to get one early.

Finally, some bird news. A Blackcap which I had seen a couple of times in the garden this winter, was singing from the hedge along Costers Lane both yesterday and this morning.
Spring is on the way.
