We were on a mission of mercy &#8211; to get an old Grandfather Clock, <strong>The Baron,<\/strong> delivered to it&#39;s new home. Mission accomplished around 2pm on 4th May, so had plenty of time for a Moth Trap overnight on 4th May. I wasn&#39;t sure what to expect in the garden, as the night became very cool and there was a bright crescent&nbsp;of a&nbsp;moon. In my experience, moth catches allways seem to be small when there is a moon on view.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWe trapped a few species just 6 Brimstone; 2 Shuttle-shapped Dart; 3 Hebrew Character; 1 Clouded Drab; 1&nbsp;Spruce Carpet; 2 Light-brown Apple Moth and 5 Cockchaffer. The children were thrilled as this was their first ever Moth Trap. On Monday we took a walk along the beach to view the Petrified Forest that has been exposed by the winter storms. Quite an amazing sight.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"forest-photo-5\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7520\" height=\"635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/forest-photo-5.jpg\" width=\"850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/forest-photo-5.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/forest-photo-5-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/forest-photo-5-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/forest-photo-5-700x522.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Part of the exposed Petrified Forest<\/strong> on Tywyn Beach &#8211; <em>Tony Davison&copy;<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"photo-1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7524\" height=\"766\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-1.jpg\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-1-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-1-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-1-700x523.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"photo-2\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7521\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-2.jpg\" width=\"850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-2.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-2-150x115.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-2-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-2-700x539.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"photo\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7523\" height=\"607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo.jpg\" width=\"850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-150x107.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/photo-700x499.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAbove three images &#8211; <strong>Cockchaffer or May Bug<\/strong> &#8211; Tywyn &#8211; Photos by <em>Sam Aitken&copy; aged 13<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Spruce-Carpet\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7522\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Spruce-Carpet.jpg\" width=\"850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Spruce-Carpet.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Spruce-Carpet-150x119.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Spruce-Carpet-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Spruce-Carpet-700x559.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Spruce Carpet<\/strong> &#8211; Tywyn &#8211; Photo by <em>Sam Aitken&copy;, aged 13<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apolgies for belated Blog Post &#8211; The Bank holiday weekend of 4th &#8211; 5th May was spent with my cousin and family in the lovely seaside town of Tywyn.
