On the 2nd June I was invited to trap at Huish moor by Ginny and David Ayling. Nobody told me it was like scaling the north face of the eiger. Still a few false starts and the sky was far too clear also thanks to Mr Walters a local farmer we had wonderful tales in the frequent pauses in moth recording. Finally my thanks to Ginny and David and especially Roger Sedgemoor who bravely took the line down the steep slope to get to the grass field. Hopefully pictures will follow the records soon.
