A NEW WEBSITE!
As of March 2015, an official website for Surrey Moths has been set-up here. There you'll find information on everything to do with the Surrey Branch of Butterfly Conservation, including the updated events calender for 2015. Hope to see you there!
I had about 20 new species for the year. The warm night obviously helped, and the lack of wind. Even so there was a fullish moon and no cloud cover, so I was pleased to get a good selection. No hawkmoths was a bit disappointing but you cannot have everything!New for year included:
