Several Light-brown Apple - Moths and a White-shouldered House-moth with just one macro this morning.
8 Small Tortoiseshell and 2 Small Whites around the area (thought we might find some Small Coppers in the area we saw some last year about this time but no show).
Also 2 Small Whites and a Red Admiral and a Speckled Wood at home.
I've done an experiment with blogger here so bear with me on that. I'll do the moths first. The reason I'm hammering the last few days for trapping is I want my September numbers up.

The Blogger Bit.
My experiment with blogger is: I have written this at 6:30am and if I post this now, it will come up in the previous day's section on the homepage of the website because this blog's clock seems to be on Pacific Day time. So to make it look on the web that it was posted the day it was actually posted I'm going to schedule this and have it automatically posted by Blogger at 10 o'clock. After reading this, if the bit where it says the time is says 02:00 it worked.

Warm sunshine, even on Soil Hill this afternoon. It's not often so warm up there !!
This afternoon - in the warm sunshine I found 5 Small Tortoiseshells in different places and all disturbed on sun facing walls. All looked really smart individuals so probably freshly emerged (?). One unidentified white flying over a bank of gorse was a probably a Small White.
This afternoon a Speckled Wood landed on the furniture in the conservatory though it departed unscathed.
Finally a Lunar Underwing appeared here in Rishworth last night a long with three other moths, being two NFYs and a Large Yellow Underwing.
