Hopefully there will be the catch from several traps to examine and identify, before safely releasing them. There may be 100 species or more if the weather has been kind. Finish time will depend on the size of catch.

If you have your own moth trap, you can bring it over the evening before to add to the collection. We can accommodate up to 3 mains traps and as many battery traps as you like: mains traps will need lead cables. Please email twwbrain@gmail .com by Thursday evening if you are planning on bringing a trap.
