Moths and a monumentally sad day Sunday 22nd March 2020

I risked putting a moth trap out last night, in the hope of capturing my first moths of the year.

I set the trap on the edge of the woodland and caught six moths, more than I expected given how cold it was last night. 

Oak Beauty, "A" Drab, Hebrew Character and Chestnut made up the catch.

A stunning day followed, attracting many visitors to the Country Park despite all the sensible advice from the Government and the scientists. In a responsible move to help limit the impact of Covid-19 all of Carmarthenshire County Council managed parks and green spaces will be closed to the public until further notice.

Difficult times so keep safe.
