Brighton Recording Day

Saturday 6th June   BOOKING ESSENTIAL!

Time: 10.30am to 4.00pm

Location: Dorothy Stringer School Butterfly Haven and Brighton Wild Park.

Details: We are holding a recording day at the Dorothy Stringer conservation area where various interesting invertebrates have previously been recorded by Peter Hodge. It is an area of chalk grassland created on what used to be a playing field, it has just under 100 wild flower species and has recently been grazed by sheep! We will also visit Brighton Wild Park to see what we can find in the afternoon.

Meet at: Meet at the Brian Foster Environment Centre at Dorothy Stringer School at 10.30am - TQ308072.  http://www.multimap.com/s/jlI5XmzD  If you enter Stringer Way from the west, the building is half way down Stringer Way on the right (nestled in some urban woodland).

Kit:  Bring a drink, lunch and sun-block etc. binoculars, hand lenses and pooters etc.

We will be running a moth trap and doing a bit of bat detecting the evening before (Friday 5th) meeting at the Brian Foster Environment Centre at Dorothy Stringer School (TQ308072) at 8.45pm. You're more than welcome to come along then, or we can show you any exciting moths when we see you on the Saturday morning!

Please let me know if you would like to attend one or both of these events.

All best wishes,
Penny

p.s. please note that we were originally going to do the moth trap on the same day but we will be doing these on the previous evening now.
