Hello Moth-ers,
This Saturday the
MMG (Montgomeryshire Moth Group) and the MWT are holding a joint ‘mothing and
other nocturnal creature’s’ event at Dolforwyn Woods Nature Reserve, just north
of Newtown. The
event is also being held on Butterfly Conservation’s ‘Moth Night’ weekend and
this year the theme is ‘Migrant species’, and hopefully the current southerly
winds we’re having will continue and a few migrant species will be pushed
towards us. This is our penultimate event of the season, so please come along
and join us for what promises to be a terrific evening’s mothing at this superb
woodland site.
Full event

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.
