Moths and Coffee!
Join the RSPB at Pagham Harbour in one of their many forthcoming events this autumn and winter including Moths and Coffee, an irresistible combination!
Did you know that moths migrate as well as birds? Autumn is a great time to set a moth trap – there is a good chance of catching species that have migrated from the continent as well as our resident moths. Join RSPB Pagham for a brew and chance to encounter these fascinating insects. There are over 2500 species of moth in the UK and they come in all shapes, sizes and colours. Some have the most incredible camouflage, while others are brighter and bolder than butterflies. We’ll be introducing you to some of these marvellous creatures when we open our trap and there will be opportunities for photographs too.
Sign up for Moths and Coffee, and many other RSPB events at Pagham Harbour in the coming weeks.
