Hello All,

Below you will find details of the MMG’s next mothing event, which is on Saturday 11 August at the Cors Dyfi Nature reserve.

                                                                         

Moth trapping at this site has rewarded us with many new county records over recent years, so you never know, something special might turn up at this event. The visitor centre will as usual be open during the evening, so they’ll be lots going on, so please come along and join us for a wonderful evening of mothing.

The event details are:-

Montgomeryshire Moth Group (MMG) is an independent voluntary group of people interested in moths. All ages are welcome, beginners or experts.

This year all the events are light trapping events. We set up the light traps at dusk to attract moths and then release them after identification.

You are welcome to join us for as much of the evening as suits you, we are likely to stay for several hours. However, in case of cancellation, in poor weather or unforeseen circumstances, always ring or e-mail to check the event is on before joining us. Please bring a touch and suitable clothing

Please note that some sites are not easy to find, so please make sure that you know where the venue is before you set off.

Hope to see some of you at the event.

Peter.
