Moth Night 2018 is fast approaching (14 – 16 June) and now only eight weeks away! Bawdsey Hall is hosting an event and all interested recorders are invited on the evenings of Friday 15th & Saturday 16th June. I would appreciate as much support as possible, especially as Bawdsey Hall and I personally have put a lot of effort into this and I have been appointed East Anglia regional representative for Moth Night 2018.
This year the theme is Pyralid moths – Bawdsey is a good site for this group and hopefully some of the more local coastal species will be flying.
Arriving in the evening at around 7 – 8pm, a tour of the grounds will follow with deployment of moth traps. Please let me know how many traps you will be bringing?
Badger and Tawny Owl watching will once again be available together with the chance to see the nesting Little Owls and Common Swifts on CCTV.
A photography workshop is also planned with a set-up to photograph moths on the night and advice from leading wildlife photographer and Hall-owner David Hermon.
Please let me know if you are coming so that we can plan the event. Food and drink will be available and we would be grateful if you could bring some food to share.
Many thanks.

Even though Bawdsey is a regularly trapped site there is still an opportunity to record new micro-lepidoptera for the site, as vast numbers of moths are trapped and many micros get missed amongst the masses.
