News from the Bugry

Me in the Bugry 

Jersey Tigers- part of the 28 a few days ago 

 



Been some busy nights in the Bugry recently. Last night I had 85 moths of 39 species flying round the room. I try and catch as many as possible and pot them up or store them in the storage tank so that I can count them all- in addition to the ones that actually stay in the trap. Since last June I've had 231 species of moth in that blinking room including a 2nd site record for Surrey- a Rose Plume and also the Dewick's Plusias which probably represent the only breeding population in the UK. Probably (definately) misidentifying and missing all sorts of stuff too.
