Moth survey August 2012
The moth recorders Pete & Ginny Clarke have done another moth survey, later this year than previous years, and the their comments are:
Considering how poor the overnight weather was, we had an enormous number of moths in the traps – 77 species and 804 moths.
Of these a micro – Bryotropha politella was only the 2nd Rador record, Maple Pug – 5th record, and though only the 11th record of Dotted Carpet, all previous were from the Elan area.
