Hello All,
This Saturday the MMG
(Montgomeryshire Moth Group) is holding a mothing event at Coed Pendugwm
Nature Reserve in the centre/north
of the county. This is a joint event with Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust who
are doing bat recording. This site is very under-recorded so there is a chance
that we might record something new or scarce for the site or indeed the county,
so please come along and join us for what promises to be an excellent evening’s
mothing and bat recording.
Full event details are:-
Venue: Coed Pendugwm
Nature Reserve.
Target Species: Early autumn migrants.
Event Date: Saturday 27 September 2014.
Event time: 7:00 onwards, at the trapping site.
Directions: from
the A458 at Heniarth take the B4389 for approximately half a mile, then on the
left take the B4382 for about a mile and a half, where you will turn right
towards Pont Robert. Coed Pendugwm is on a minor road a mile north of
Pontrobert towards Llanfihangel; follow the brown signs from Pontrobert. Park
in the reserve car park down the short but steep track opposite Pendugwm Farm. Please
note that the reserve only has a small car park, so please ‘car share’ wherever
you can.

Montgomeryshire Moth Group (MMG) is
an independent voluntary group of people interested in moths. All ages are
welcome to attend events whether experts or beginners.
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.
As with all our evening events,
please bring a torch and wear suitable outdoor clothing.
You are welcome to join us for as
much of the evening that suits you, we are likely to stay for several hours.
However, in case of cancellation, due to poor weather or unforeseen
circumstances, always ring or e-mail to check the event is on before joining
us.
Please note that some sites are not easy to
find, so please make sure you know where the venue is before you set off.
Peter.
