My apologies for the late report of trapping on the 26th May. Mike Ridge and I did Staple Park Wood. Easy, hard access with a lot of potential and hardly any records. Also Mike's type of trapping by boxing up all individuals as they come in starts to look the best way forward. He caught with my help 147 moths of 30 species in 3hours which is not bad for the sort of weather we have been having. (See more in my Recorders remarks)
