Moth survey results - 28/07/2026
Moth Survey Results - Each Tuesday morning we check out light trap to see what species have been attracted from the night before.
We had a total of 250 individual moths, which made up 53 species in the moth trap this morning. 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 guide and gain early access to the reserve.
