Greetings from SW Scotland!

Just to introduce ourselves, we are Pete & Valerie Harrison @DandGWildlife and @wildforms on Twitter, we live on the North Rhins in the far SW of Scotland. We have been moth trapping for a couple of years now and are hooked! We have a very wild, rural garden with a variety of habitats nearby. This year we got off to a bad start with the garden under several feet of snow for some weeks and we thought nothing would survive. We are therefore delighted that we are now getting at least some moths in the trap, although only ten species so far. It looks like that we may be the most northerly mothers on the challenge at the moment!All our records are sent to our local recorder. We aren’t experts so if we have labelled any incorrectly, please let us know!
