Staple Common 30th June, 2006. With Mike Ridge keeping a watching brief over one of my robo traps. (robo meaning like a Robinson trap but my own design). Plus another robe and my light above a sheet we had 97 species in three hours
Of course this pales into insignificance against James McGills catch in two all night traps at thurlbear farm of 185 Species. Hmm Takes some doing
