Hatley moths, July 10

I've just started moth trapping again after a long break.

It's been quite good so far, with the highlight being 20 hawkmoths on our first attempt (11 Privets, 5 Elephants and one each of Small Elephant, Pine, Poplar, Lime and Eyed). I'm still pretty rusty (especially on the. er, brown ones...) but it's good fun. More pics and details on my blog.
