Please come again on 20 March from 11am until 3pm to help finish the job.
We hope to plant coppice, orchard and nature trail among the majority woodland space. An island of trees surrounded by a sea of sheep grazed pasture.....
Please bring sandwiches though I'm told the Chuch Hall is doing cream teas as it's farmers' market day

Here is a summary of my moth records for 2009 for our back garden near Bampton Cumbria in NY51 VC69. The moths were primarily caught using my Skinner trap that has an 80W MV bulb. Our height asl is 260m. The immediate vicinity is rough grassland and mixed woods but very soon we are surrounded by grass sheep fields. Some non-moth records have sneaked in.
Let me know if you have queries about any of these records.
