Median Farm Moth Survey

4th June 2015

Chris Manley, George Tordorff and myself carried out a survey of the invertebrates on Median Farm Nature Reserve, Carmarthenshire to investigate how successful the winter conservation activies had been in improving the habitat. The results were very encouraging with well over 100 species of moth recorded together with various other wildlife, much of which would be in serious trouble without reserves like this. Below are photos of some of the moths we recorded:
