Hello All,
This Saturday the MMG (Montgomeryshire Moth Group) is
holding its last mothing event of 2017 at Llandinam Gravels, in the south of
the county just south of Llandinam. This event is being held on ‘Moth Night’ (formally
National Moth Night) and on this occasion the theme is migrant species, so
hopefully the mild spell of weather we’re currently experiencing will work in
our favour and we’ll bag a migrant or two. This site located alongside the
River Severn has produced some excellent records in the past, so please come
along and join us for what promises to be a terrific evening’s mothing at this excellent
site.
Full event details are:-
Venue: Llandinam
Gravels.
Event Date: Saturday 14th. October.
Meet: 6:30
onwards in the parking area at the end of the track.
Directions: As
you approach Llandinam on the A470 from Newtown, take the first right by the
statue and cross the river Severn over the narrow bridge; turn first left down the
lane (then track) for about a mile and a half, we will be trapping at
the end of the track. Please note The area where we will be
trapping is beyond the MWT Llandinam Gravels Nature Reserve car park. Keep
going down the lane until it comes to an end, then carry on straight on down
the rougher track, we will be holding the event at the end of this track.
Grid Reference: SO011866.
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.
