Great moth, and Crafty Creatures at the FAYRE

One of our Twitter followers found an egg-laying Garden Tiger Moth on the Common a day or two ago. This is a rarity these days, and a great find on our little patch. It's a great moth to look at too: See http://www.wildlifetrusts.org/species/garden-tiger

It was the Southrepps Fayre today, and despite a dire weather forecast it all went well, with no rain. Southrepps Commons Trust had a big presence, with Dr Tim and his able assistants making dragonflies from reeds cut from the Common. We had hoped to recruit more volunteers, so with luck some of the people who took away our details will decide to join in over the next cutting season.
