Jon Pickett said:Nice one Stovie, beautiful arn't they. We have had a few in the trap this year............
In our garden, we don't really keep records, but do take photo's of them all, trouble is, I don't know many of the names of them, so I need to get an expert to have a look at them........stovie said:I'm curious Jon, do you keep records of the number and varieties you catch in the trap? I'd be interested to know what you've seen this year.
Jon Pickett said:He does a wardens report every year and I can show you last 2 years reports if you like...........
Sounds good to me.......stovie said:Tell you what, lets organise that drink, and you can bring the reports with you.
I'll get back to you in the next day or so...
