Farcet Fen moths

Spurred on by others' successful trappings during March, I've stuck the 15w actinic out a few times over the last few weeks and nothing. So, I dusted down the 160w MVB trap and although Sat/Sun night was forecast to be cold and clear and lived in hope. Bingo! 20 moths of eight species.
