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!
