Rhoose Top 10 2011 & 2012
Here's my data for 2011 & 2012.  The most notable points I guess is the appearance of Silver Y at no 2 for 2012, and the fact that overall numbers of the commonest species appears not to have altered dramatically despite the poor conditions in 2012, except for H&D.  Curiously the total number of species trapped was also greater in 2012.  That could be explained by my identification skills becoming better (slowly!) though.  I also wonder if I may have been misrecording Uncertain/Rustics as Vine's Rustics in 2011?

Adam,
ReplyDeleteI think Vine's Rustic just had a bad year - I had 44 in 2011 and only 4 in 2012. On the other hand Rustic & Uncertain went from 46 (combined total) in 2011 to 49 in 2012.
