Far Ings Moth & Bat night 6-8-11

With trapping my own garden the previous night Mandy and myself decided to attend the local Moth & Bat night .We headed off for Far Ings early to spend a couple of hours in Ness Hide and wait for the Kingfisher but it didn't show but the young Water Rail did,with the un-forecast heavy rain showers we thought the moth night might of been cancelled but the rain cleared.With Matt Blisset running the show by starting off with the Bat walk Mandy went off with them to see what they could find and I stayed behind to help Alf with starting up the Moth traps.
With 3 species of bat detected/seen included Pipistrelle,Noctule & Daubenton's
Main moths of the night included
Bulrush,Brown-veined & Southern Wainscot & Bordered Pug.
