Cullaloe 26/07/2014

Rainy night for the public moth night at Cullaloe, but we managed to tough it out between 21:00 and midnight with two MVs and a heath trap and catch a decent range of species, with 13 additions to the year list and a good few species additions to the reserve list. The order sadly is odd (extract from iRecord sorted by preferred name) and I haven't adjusted it by code.
