Actinic moth traps were set in the Silver Birch Betula pendula woodland prior to the meeting and left overnight. The evening was glorious and we were treated to the sight of three flying Common Cranes and a view of the forehead of a Tawny Owl waitingfor dark in a nest box.A beautiful day of pleasant sunshine was perfect for our excursion to Thorne Moors which was attended by 22 members and friends, including eight YNU affiliated societies. Tim Kohler (Natural England's Senior Reserve Manager, Humberhead Peatlands NNR) gave us a brief introduction to the Moors.
