Earl(y) grey

When it comes to a cup of tea, I've always been one for the blended varieties and while I will happily drink many of the other fruity or herbal infusions, such as mint or camomile, I somehow cannot acquire the taste of Earl Grey, which I often refer to as Early Grave.

This mornings ritual of emptying the moth trap added a new species for the year whose name reminds me of that very brew.

Given the drop in temperature last night I was quite pleasantly surprised to find a fair number of moths to counts and record this morning:

Species	Number
Small Quaker	23
Common Quaker	9
Hebrew character	8
Clouded drab	6
Powdered Quaker	3
Early grey	1
Lead-coloured drab	1
Total species: 7	51
