The location of the garden at the bottom of a steep sided valley near the North
Cornish coast means it is unlikely to be a prime location for migratory moths.
However, recording on the surrounding hill-tops and cliffs, during
times of migratory activity, should prove more productive. Go to the Migrants
slideshow to view all the images.
