Have just secured permission to trap close to Fritton lake at an excellent wetland site with great potential. Scale marsh with its dry reedbed on one side and a large area of swamp bordering Fritton lake on the other. I expect to be trapping throughout the season with Brian Jones. I believe there has been virtually no recording done at this site since the 1930′s!
Also have managed easy access for the Herringfleet Hills site. No more lugging all the equipment up and down the steep hillsides! Limited number of vehicles able to attend at either venue so unsuitable for full on SMG moth nights.
I have had permission for Scale marsh for a few years now but it had proved impossible to get close to the good habitat. Thanks to recent clearing by dredging machinery over the last two or three years, access and the habitat have improved.
