On the 6th August, the mothing event was at Tilburstow Hill near Godstone, but it was cold, and it passed largely uneventfully. Best was the pretty micro Mompha propinquella.

Last night, there was a night-life event at Stoke Meadows in Guildford. Conditions were pretty good, so its a surprise we got so few moths in two traps, but at least we got the nice wetland specialists of a couple of Webb's Wainscot and about six Crescent. Sorry about the awful shots, but I was rushed trying to deal with the public at the same time!
