Wed Aug 10th 2022 7pm till late.  Lexden Springs Local Nature Reserve, Colchester
Joint Moth trapping event with Colchester Natural History Society. Meet in the parking area to the side of Spring Lane (South), nearest postcode CO3 4AN, Grid ref TL971252. What3words daisy.dare.stocks. Bring your own moth traps and generators if you have them; if not please do come along anyway. A small reserve, but with many different habitats. We have trapped here a couple of times in the last five years but the weather has never been particularly kind. Let’s hope for a change in luck this year...
