My first visit to Birches Farm for moth recording took place on the 9th. A warm and humid night, but the slow-ness of the season was still apparent with just 54 species from 2 Robinsons operated for my standard 3 hour period. I have maybe another half dozen (mostly micros) still to identify later, so around 60 species and when combined with another trap operated by Sarah Cadwallader and David Griffiths nearby, the grand total will approach 70. For me, there was a first and I was delighted to record Wood Carpet. Only 1 or 2 records for Herefordshire per year for this one. Peter Hall
