As we have a bird list running for 2011, we thought it would a good idea to do the same with the moths found on the reserve.
We will be running the moth trap most nights and will post on here the new and interesting moths that we find in our trap. We will also record anything we find when we are out and about on the reserve.
If anyone does any moth trapping themselves, let us know what you are seeing in your area....
