Ellerburn Bank – Ian Glaves

The Society’s Outdoor Evening Field Trip to Ellerburn Bank on the 25th was a great success. There were also a number of guests from Whitby and Ryedale Nats. A number of orchids were seen, ie. Fly, common spotted, greater butterfly, northern marsh and an undetermined hybrid.

Graham Featherstone ran a moth trap and caught a good number of moths.

There were excellent sightings of nightjars and bats and rounding everything off 3 female and one male glow worms were discovered.
