Hi all,
Just a reminder that the next moth group event near Llanidloes is nearly upon us. As always, it is a free event but I would encourage people to register their planned attendance HERE if you would like a free pre-event meal. The food is excellent!
Traps will be switched on around 9.15pm. This extended event runs until late Saturday morning when moths caught during the night will be available to view.
Our wonderful hosts, Emma Maxwell and David Ashley run a fantastic 5 acre market garden https://www.ashandelm.co.uk/ in the Hafren Valley, 3 miles outside Llanidloes.
Surrounded by organic farmland, this site produced more than 80 species in a survey event I ran with Tir Coed back in August 2024. However, this is a new recording site for the moth group.
