Moths & Stargazing Night, July 1st 2022
This event was run in conjuction with the Wickford Wildlife Society.
Report
As with all things nature-related, the weather plays a big part in what you see, and sadly we had a cool, breezy, and fairly clear night, which is not normally good for attracting moths. However, we did attract some moths to the light and all of us had an enjoyable evening trying to identify what we caught in the jars. At the end of the night, we had a total of 11 species - 10 of which are new for the park list. As for star gazing, we did not see any planets this time around but had some good views of some nice crescent moon craters before it disappeared behind the trees. Let's hope for better weather next year!I trust all who attended had an enjoyable night and we will certainly do this again next year!
