Thorne & Bridport week 2

Making steady progress at Thorne. Bridport a little slower but that is mostly down to the short days giving no time for looking for species after work. Also got a bit keen and tried running the moth trap last night with the fairly predictable 'nil moth' scenario this morning.
Latest situation shown in table below.

  1. That's a damn smart bug, haven't seen one for years and years! Turn over a log, you'll soon get that myriapod list moving.

  2. Ticking along nicely. Very smart bug, indeed.
