Myself and a few of the lads where invited around to Roy and Linda Harveys at Grasby to see what species we could catch.On arrival the weather didn't look to promising due to the clear sky,but we managed a respectable 60 species.The best highlights apart from the usual Hawkmoth species were a Beautiful Hooktip,5 Plain-golden Y,Burnished Brass and a lovely fresh Common Emerald.Not a bad effort at all.
