Eskrigg 23rd April

We went to Eskrigg reserve at Lockerbie to help Jim Rae empty his moth traps.
Despite being rather chilly overnight Jim had still managed to trap about 150 moths in his 2 traps, one on the pond fringe  and one in the pinewood. Of the 13 different species Common Quaker and Hebrew Character were the most abundant.
