Excellent night last night. Tim hosted a moth hunt in his meadow, and for 3 hours we attracted a large number of moths to my expert friend's bright light. If it had not been so windy, we would have got more. The highlights for most of us were the exquisite Emperor Hawk moth, and the larger, but greyer, Eyed Hawk moth. It was fascinating to see how, once they had been convinced it was daytime, they settled down to rest in full view of everyone.The full list of moths recorded is now online at: http://www.southreppscommonstrust.org.uk/sct2/wildlife.htm
What a treat, and many thanks to Tim and Jane for their brilliant hospitality.
