Yes a good catch..you do right getting up early to empty it, I found 2 Blue tits in my trap last year one morning(lots of dead moths) ,,,I sometimes get up and put a sheet over the trap and then go back to bed and then sort it a bit later....keep an eye on the Red Chestnut some are very dark...
Cheers Andy,, I'll watch The Red chestnuts
