Another reminder that this Friday sees the start of the 2009 Garden Moth Recording Scheme Year. Anyone interested in joining this scheme should contact the south west coordinator, George Davis, e-mail to(frandavis@lineone.net) for further details and forms. The aim is to record an agreed list of common moths for your garden on most Fridays between March and November. Total coverage is not obligatory, so the odd holiday period is allowed for but you can only miss out on a few weeks over the recording period. Friday is also not obligatory but is the evening that most choose. The aim is consistency per user, so same trap used etc. So far there are more than 40 recorders in the south west and the group has its own website and chat group.
