Not sure how much farmers get to sleep anymore with this crazy unpredictable weather anyway!!

In Pembrokeshire the landowners are involved in the Naturally Connected www.pembrokeshirecoast.wales/news/new-fun... and in the Chilterns most were very wildlife friendly with regen practices. Would be great to engage those more intensive farms!

Great! I'm based in Reading so north Hants would be great - and have a friend in Whitchurch I could stay with for further south :)

Let me know where/when and depending which part of Hants I could be keen :)

Another resource you may find helpful is the UKCEH What's Flying Tonight app - connect-apps.ceh.ac.uk/whats_flying... which shows you which moths are likely to be in your area on that date.

I went back and forth on this! Llwydfelen comes from llwyd (grey) and melyn (yellow) but translated means beige, buff, all sorts! Direct translations are hard 😅
