The night before our event, a moth light trap was set up to see what was attracted. There were poor results due to a full moon but still 31 moths of 13 different species were found, 10 of which were new for the site.

The 'best' records were Neglected Rustic, Heath Rustic, Autumnal Rustic, Sallow and Small Wainscot

Mark Kennett yes we think it’s a bull calf but andrew was struggling to get near him as he’s charging about and we’d all had a really long 3 days working all hours to get the event off the ground and then we just finished( about an hour ago, well still stuff to do but tho the event site is cleared but it’s drying the pop up tents and their bags as everything was soaked but we were dry in the 140 foot long marquee!!!pasteurising the juice still to do tonight it’s still in the back of my car Thank god for andrew and his tractor as there was quite a bit of towing the marquee trucks in and out and some stall holders, mostly we ferried stuff with the Atv and trailer as it was kinder on the field 2 to go hopefully all will be well

What a beauty...

Lovely strong calf

A massive thank you to all who braved the weather to come to our event today! We hoped you all enjoyed it. We would love feedback on what you liked or didn't like or what you would like to see next time.

Thank you to all who visited, all who provided food, drink and stalls and of course our fantastic bunch of volunteers who, without them, we couldn't have done any of it.

We would love more volunteers if you want to join us!

Looks amazing! Well done to ever involved xx

We had a fabulous time at the event! Can't wait for the next one x

It looked like a great event. Unfortunately I was unable to make it. With regards to the new parking lines in the lay-by; 1. What is the reason behind it? 2. Who made the decision? 3. Was there any consultation with users of the park? 4. Is it even legal? Is the lay- by part of the highways and byways? I.e. are people who pay car tax entitled to use it as a lay-by. Or is it owned by the nature reserve? 5. Why are the spaces so small? 6. What research was done into the impact apon regular users. The image this projects to people who come to experience the freedom of nature. And if this research was done can it be made publicly available? 7. Had spaces been made available for disabled people and people with vans? 8. What enforcement measures will there be? I.e signs ect. Details please if so. Is it possible to have a public reply to the above questions please? Thankyou
