GS-k is the third record for this year, the other two being in March. It's still there, apparently undaunted by the heavy rain.

One that nearly got away
I put two actinic traps out last night because...it was dry!! Also mild, and the wind had died down so I was hopeful, but the optimism was misplaced. Only 16 moths turned up. Worthy of mention was the first Epirrita sp. of the year, and a Grey Shoulder-knot. I very nearly missed the latter moth, so well was it camouflaged on a concrete windowsill. I happened to walk past the window and spotted it several hours after the traps had been emptied and put away.
