Moth Nights

Moth Nights

We trap many migrant as well as local moths and the traps are always full of interesting species. In fact the car park at the observatory is a recognised moth hot spot! The latest sightings can be seen HERE and the latest annual moth report can be found HERE

The moth evenings mostly start at 6.30pm.
