It was drone day today at @Wheatfen getting important LiDAR data of the #wetwoodland. And an almost all-female team, with @emilyrlines leading us, which was fitting for #InternationalWomensDay!

A return to @Wheatfen with @norfolkmoths, and an interesting few hours of surveying at night. Here’s a rather nice Golden Spot moth.
