On the 17th May with the kind invitation of Bob Boyce the Exmoor Stalwarts visted Parsonage Farm, Hawkridge. It was a bit cold and clear but after a slow start using four traps we got to the total of 80species which is no mean feat for such a night. My thanks to David & Ginny Ayling, Pat Owen, Mike Ridge and Robin Clatworthy who has been my driver and support having been on crutches for the last 6 weeks. Also Bob made our task much better with frequent glasses of wine. Bob runs a four star restaurant and B& B at the farm and his hospitality was wonderful and very welcome as the cold seeped into our bones. Latest news plus this very under recorded moth
