Old Sulehay

On the Friday night we headed to Old Sulehay to set a load of pitfall traps over the reserve for the Wildlife Trust. In the morning we returned to investigate what ground beetles we had caught over the evening. Spent most of the day logging what species were caught. Then in the afternoon spent time in the lab identifying more of the beetles; which turned out to be really enjoyable. In the evening we made a special trip to locate Ulmus plotii which was our 1000th native species seen in the UK. We then came back in the next day to continue the beetle survey.
