All the same Ducks down at Hide 2, so it was back to Hide 1 to feed the Bank Vole. A Kingfisher flew past a few times and there were 3 Grey Herons fighting over the best fishing spots, which ended well in the end.

5 moths in the trap:

November Moth, Epirrita dilutata
A possible Viburnum Button, Acleris schalleriana
Pale Mottled WillowCaradrina clavipalpis
Shuttle-shaped Dart, Agrotis puta

Plus an unfortunate Barred Sallow, Tiliacea aurago which was killed by a spider on the nearby fence and a Green-brindled Crescent, Allophyes oxyacanthae which had me fooled, I didn't find it till 2 hours after opening the trap.
