It's a wildlife rich oasis in the middle of a not-too-fantastic area and pretty much the most north-eastern tetrad in Surrey. As such I was keen to get it surveyed for the (at that time) forthcoming Smaller Moths of Surrey Atlas. Three of us hit it hard and accumulated the largest total of day-found micromoths at ANY Surrey site previously surveyed, somewhat over a hundred species! Then we went back with extra ammo (Graham Collins, John Langmaid etc) and bagged a heapload more species. Green spaces in inner city environments can be massively rewarding - invert and plantwise at least. <br /><br />Edit - this reads a bit better than my first attempt, which I've deleted!
