Grey carpet moth survey 31st May 2019, Elveden. http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2019/05/09/grey-carpet-moth-survey-31st-may-2019-elveden/ http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2019/05/09/grey-carpet-moth-survey-31st-may-2019-elveden/#comments Thu, 09 May 2019 15:16:42 +0000 Neil http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/?p=7912 Continue reading ]]> Sharon Hearle from BC is planning a Grey Carpet survey day in Suffolk on Friday 31st May 10.30am – 2pm.  She has got a list of sites on the Elvden Estate with Flixweed and where can be visited.
Meet on West Road in Icklingham – grid ref  TL768732 Postcode IP28 6PU.
She says ‘It would be great to see some Suffolk moth recorders ( I will probably run a load of traps the night before as well).  I appreciate Friday is not great for you and others that are working.  It is helpful if people email to let me know they are coming along’.

She also says there are problems with the FC over cars accessing the forest – they are having a clampdown and also insist on business insurance.
Possible funding:     www.suffolkbis.org.uk/news/funding?page=1

Help Needed – Lunar Yellow Underwing Caterpillar Surveys – King’s Forest Suffolk http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2018/02/01/help-needed-lunar-yellow-underwing-caterpillar-surveys-kings-forest-suffolk/ http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2018/02/01/help-needed-lunar-yellow-underwing-caterpillar-surveys-kings-forest-suffolk/#comments Thu, 01 Feb 2018 21:09:10 +0000 Tony Prichard http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/?p=7407 Continue reading ]]> I’ve received a request for help from Sharon Hearle  – details below. Tony

Organised at fairly short notice in Feb/March – mild evenings above 3 degrees (hopefully even milder) between 6pm -8pm approx.

I am looking for a few volunteers to help with some survey visits to Kings Forest looking at rotovated plots on forest rides and clearings to see whether lunar yellow underwing is present. This will help to inform Forestry Commission management work and the Shifting Sands Heritage Lottery Project.

Please contact Sharon Hearle on shearle@butterfly-conservation.org Tel 07920131526 if you might be able to help
