Description
Nightly counts of moths and other insects from light traps run by volunteers, one of the longest such records in the region.
Provenance
Rescued from a skip outside a former office in North Brookcombe. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. Everything was recovered, with a few damaged files repaired from a second copy.
