After poor weather cancelled this event last year, the moth group are trying again with their next public moth and bat event on Saturday 12th September at Deri Woods Llanfair Caereinion. The event starts at 7.30PM, in association with Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust, Friends of Deri Woods, Llanfair Caereinion Town Council and Butterfly Conservation.
There is a very good chance of seeing a county rarity, Barred Hook-tip, at this site due to the large number of Beech trees. It has been recorded here before.
Parking is at the entrance to the wood which is a short distance along the B4385 west of Llanfair Caereinioin and involves an easy walk up along the track to where the event will be based at the stone circle.
Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear for an evening, outdoor event and you will need to bring your own refreshments. A head/hand torch is essential. Insect repellent is recommended as a precaution. Please bring something to sit on if needed although there are some benches around the site.
Directions:
NGR OS099065. w3w//newsprint.soldiers.tailed SY21 0HR
From Welshpool turn off the A458 over the bridge into Llanfair Caereinion and at the top of the high street follow the road to the right and continue past the Goat Public House on the B4385. Deri woods entrance is on the right just beyond the first bridge on the outskirts of the town.
There will be a bat walk first, using bat detectors to listen to and help identify these flying mammals which will precede moth traps being switched on around 8PM
This is a free event, no booking required.
If the event is cancelled, it will be notified by a post on this blog and also the group facebook page. Please check before setting out.
