St. Jude’s storm has wiped out the power to the whole of the Bawdsey Peninsula so there were no lights on last night (28th)
I didn’t run the previous night (27th) due to the strong winds but did record on the 26th October – noting a Juniper Carpet - an unexpected addition to the Hall list.
I’m told it could take three days to restore power! For those of you lucky enough to have power (50,000 homes still don’t across large swathes of Suffolk) then think of all those migrants you can catch with far fewer competing lights!
So, are you finally admitting to piracy – catching the moths that should be visiting our traps further inland? Well, we’ll see how you get on with a candle instead of a MV!
As much as I’d love to run traps, at present I’m working from dawn till dusk cutting and clearing up all the large fallen trees and branches around the golf course and am too tired when I get home to bother!
Hope you get the power back on soon.
Neil
