Moth Target No.1 - New House, New Rules

Haven't put a post up for a loooong time, but I have moved house since.. Well that's my excuse anyway!

Anyway, gave myself 10 target species for 2014, but I won't tell you what they are (just in case I fail to get them) :-/

Anyway, managed one already. In my old house (which was in the middle of town), I had very few good moths in Spring, but now I'm a little out of the way, maybe I'll manage to get some of those much needed Spring moths?

Anyhow, only had the trap out for a couple of hours on 2 nights so far, the first, in mid-Feb, produced 2 moths, with Dark Chestnut being new for me (but not my target), along with a rather fresh Hebrew Character.
The second trap was last night for 4 hours, first thing was a Double-striped Pug flapping about before I turned the trap on.
The trap silently hummed on, and when I checked it about 1/2 an hour later, a small moth flitted past, Agonopterix alstromeriana, which is my second of this species, since I had one at farmland in 2012. A little later, an Early Thorn and a Hebrew Character turned up, followed by a second species which is new for me, the tortix Acleris schalleriana, which was nice. It was soon that I'd have to put the trap away (shan't be long till the whole night sessions are, once I get to know the neighbours a little better), so I checked the eggboxes on the outside, producing the first Common Quaker of the year, followed (this disappeared by the next time I checked about 1/2 an hour later, but there were 4 inside the trap, so I presume it left the outside box and went in).
As I turned over the last eggbox on the outside, a massive moth sat in front of me! (well not that massive, but hey), it was my first target species of 2014, and a lovely moth besides. The fantastic Oak Beauty. Was very pleased indeed.
