Seven participants enjoyed a mild, sunny morning for this week's survey. Two people concentrated on birds while the rest stayed closer to the gardens and observed insects. The lights around the buildings are luring plenty of nocturnal moths but the number of insects attracted to flowers is still a bit low.
