Weather overnight: Mild with rain showers.
A selection of the moths are available to view at our welcome desk today. Visit us next Tuesday morning from 7am if you would like to join staff in identifying moths from our light trap. If you are a WWT member you can show your card to the moth survey guide and gain early access to the reserve.
