24th June 2012 at 9am – Moth Night at the Rotherfield reserve is this Sunday morning.  Please come along!

After the event we will post a list of the moths recorded HERE – watch this space!

The nationally co-ordinated ’Moth Night 2012′ returns this year, and we will be moth trapping at our Rotherfield woodland reserve to mark the event.  Dusk falls rather late in June so this year’s public event will take place on just the morning after, having run the moth trap all the previous night.

At 9am on Sunday 24^th June you are invited to view the opening of the trap, and to take a close look at the beautiful moths of the reserve at your leisure.  Most moths are much more docile in daylight making them easier to admire and to photograph.  You are welcome to bring your camera!

NO NEED TO BOOK – JUST TURN UP!  Children are especially welcome accompanied by an adult, but sorry no dogs.   Please wear appropriate footwear as the grass may be wet and some paths a little slippery.  If it is wet in the morning, bring an umbrella, as we will still be there!

The Rotherfield reserve car park (Grid Ref  TQ556291) is at High Cross on the B2101 road to Mayfield.  From the Rotherfield direction it is on the left-hand side about 150m after you turn left to Mayfield.  For further information please contact Ralph Hobbs on 07763 151787.
