Last year (2023) I was lucky enough to be introduced to two brilliant Moth enthusiasts Ian and Jeremy (Jem) who were keen to spend some time on my little 6 acre plot, looking for all things moth related. Having the opportunity to have an expert catalog the species found at Longbeach was an opportunity too good to miss - it was a win-win situation, Ian and Jem had the opportunity to search in a new location, and I got to benefit from their dedication, expertise and time.
The document showcases the findings and is the result of a lot of meticulous recording and identification by Ian. 687 moths of 118 species were recorded over the three nights in total. - Amazing!
Having had the benefit of this experience, I am hoping to find further opportunities to have experts/dedicated enthusiastic amateurs record other flora and fauna at LBF so that I can compile a comprehensive catalog of wildlife on my little plot and add to my own observations. Hope you enjoy the report!
