Ceredigion Moth Group<\/p><\/div>\n

I attended the formative meeting of the Ceredigion Moth Group last night.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately there hasn’t been an active moth group in the county for quite some time and there hasn’t really been any structured recording of the species that we get. All other counties in England and Wales seem to have active moth groups and more importantly a ‘County Recorder’ who collates, verifies and shares the data with nationwide schemes. As in many things, Ceredigion (or Cardiganshire as Vice County no. 46 is known) shows up as a white area on any moth count maps due to the paucity of data from the region.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, with the creation of a new Ceredigion Moth Group and the appointment of a County Recorder that is set to change.<\/p>\n

As usual with such meetings where a committee of people each with different agendas is involved,\u00a0the discussions did become a little convoluted and in many instances it seemed as though we were making things more difficult than they needed to be. But we all got on well, we all agreed to the need for a Ceredigion Moth Group and we were all fairly enthusiastic and willing to work on making it a success.<\/p>\n

It is my opinion that we should start off small and keep things as simple as possible, especially while people are finding their feet. There was certainly a great deal of knowledge and expertise in the room, and a few enthusiastic beginners such as myself, which I think is a good combination from the start.<\/p>\n

All in all the meeting went well and we have another meeting –\u00a0 that will also involve some actual moth trapping –\u00a0planned for\u00a0March 27th. In the meantime I’m going to set up a mailing\u00a0 list so that we can all communicate with each other and we’re going to organise a structured and consistent format for recording our own moth records which should make the County Recorders job eaiser. No doubt as a website designer<\/a> my list of tasks will include the buidling of a website for the group at some point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
