Much ado about mothing...

Only one moth in the trap last night -

Pale brindled Beauty
Still, its early so anything is better than nothing. Looking forward to spring...

Out with Bunty, north to Cullernose. The weather was calm and dull but mild, looks like rain later. A nice flock of 60+ Linnets with 5 Greenfinches and a Goldfinch were in the stubble, and the cliff face Fulmars were active but other than that there wasn't much to raise the bins for.

On the return journey a Razorbill, a list addition, was preening and stretching offshore with a Red throated Diver alongside.

Stewart, I haven't had a macro yet this year (four trapping sessions so far). I need to move further north...

Same, 4 trapping sessions and just the 1 micro moth = dire, nearly spring!
