A very successful moth trapping event, led by CVCP members Russell Evans and Bob East, was held at Ynys Newydd on July 13th. It was a lovely, warm, still evening and, using both Russell’s Moth Trap and Bob’s Moth Trap, 32 different species of moths were seen in a short time. Also seen were common and soprano pipistrelle bats. Thanks to all involved.
