Wings of Spring: a summary
Our inaugural Wings of Spring event was held last weekend, and now the process of documenting and identification is underway in earnest.
Loads of moths, a huge diversity of other insects, a handful of butterflies - including one very special one! - and spiders, large and small. Not a bad haul for just a few hours! The sightings are currently being uploaded to the Atlas of Life: Coastal Wilderness NatureMapr database … a collaborative task involving expert moderators and all participants.
Here is a small glimpse …
