Complete moth data for 2007
2007 was a poor year for moths on the Sulehay Nature Reserve.

2007 was a 'washout' for moths with many days of heavy rain during the peak moth activity period of June and July. As a consequence, total moth numbers (3078) was almost half of figures for 2004, 2005, and 2006. The number of species was down to 222 from around 280 for those previous years. Let hope 2008 will be kinder for the moths of Northamptonshire.

Our full year results following regular moth monitoring on the reserve are now available on our 'Wildlife Reports' page.

Images from
www.bioimages.org.uk
The bioimages website appears to be fully operational again, and our links to that website are fully functional again. This is a very useful resource and is used extensively by the SulehayNatureReserve website for example photographs, particularly from the June/July 'Lookout for . . . ' pages.
Annual Report
Nick Owens' annual erport for 2006 is now complete, and is published on this website, together with his reports for 2004 and 2005. These can be viewed by going to our 'Annual Reports' page.

Once again, our thanks go to Nick for his work over the years as the reserve volunteer warden, and his continued support since his move to Norfolk.

Management plans
Each winter and summer, we prepare a work program detailing tasks we plan to undertake during those periods. Typically, we work on the winter program from September through to March. The summer work schedule covers the plans from April to August.

We are now reaching the end of the 2007 summer program which is published on this website (see the 'Management Plans' page), and are currently planning our winter schedule.
