Why not try your hand at identifying a variety of moths from the large number of species that can be found on Seil.

Join us at 9:30am on Sunday 28th July to open the moth trap to see what moths we have caught as well as find out all the weird and wonderful facts about moths. Did you know that some moths only live for one day and never actually eat? Moth traps allow us to record the species we get, as well as giving you an opportunity to get up close to these amazing creatures to take fantastic photos. To record the species, we use a light trap set up overnight. The moths are attracted to the light, go down the funnel, and hide amongst the egg boxes. Then in the morning, we see what has been caught and let the moths go.

There is no need to book for this event, just head towards Cnoc Fennaig, Balvicar at 9:30am. This is a very relaxed event, so feel free to come and go as you please. If the weather is very poor during the night ie strong winds or heavy rain, we may have to cancel, so keep an eye on our social media.
