Persistence pays off!
I got an e-mail from Rohitas Electronics (the manufacturer, tab 2 is open to that e-mail) stating: "Dear Sir,
We have incorporated the changes
Thank you once again

Persistence pays off
Hello everyone.
I ran my trap on three consecutive nights from Saturday night to Monday night, something I don't do very often this time of year.
I think it is the reports of scarce migrants that have been reported up and down the Country recently and not always at coastal sites either.
Saturday night's catch featured no Macro moths at all, a trap rarity in itself! and Sunday night wasn't much better either....just two moths again.
And then last night it all went a bit weird and there were actually some moths to count (and write down) for starter's I had to rescue the moths from a puddle at the bottom of my trap and because our patio isn't quite level, the water wells up in one corner typically, in this puddle I found three Caloptilia's and a Tortrix of somekind reminiscent of Zeiraphera isertana, but it wasn't this species it was a first for me Crocidosema plebejana! now that was worth running the trap for.
I believe there are very few records of this typical coastal moth and I am only aware of John Murray's record this year. Obviously a wanderer from a coastal population or a primary immigrant.
Another moth of note was a form of Acleris hastiana that I have never recorded before.

Persistence - some years this tree will bloom in early January but early February is more normal. This year the poor thing kept getting blasted by snow, ice, and long stretches of sub-freezing cold. Most of the blossoms are shot but a few made it.

They flash on and off at high speed, so when waved about produce a message.
This new version has a little switch on the breadboard, when pressed it flashes the message once. This allows me to just have the message go by on the correct swing direction, and also makes it a LOT easier to get a good photograph.
I'm looking at using an accelerometer to do the same, but it would be able to automatically detect direction and speed and hopefully compensate to get a 'perfect' display.

On the white horizon,
I can feel you're still around,
And the dream overtakes me.

Persistence or madness? It has taken more than a decade, much more than a decade. At my fifth attempt over many years, yesterday I finally found one of Britain's rarest breeding damselflies. This is a male Southern Damselfly (Coenagrion mercurial) living on the extreme north western fringe of its European range and it is uncommon there too!
I have searched before in its very specific habitat of runnels and tiny streams of acid heathland before without any success. Even yesterday it was a very close call. After two hours of 30C blazing New Forest heathland sun it was time to call it a day. Fortunately at that moment, another local enthusiast turned up at the site and kindly re-directed me about 300 metres away from where I had been searching. Bingo! On a tiny runnel that frankly looked identical to the one I had just been looking on, there they were, several dozen of them!!
