We have permission from Ballarat City Council to hold a moth night at Sparrow Ground Reserve on Friday evening, 20th September. This will be an opportunity to see some of Ballarat's night life that you may have never seen, and record it for the Great Southern BioBlitz.
What we will do: Members of the Field Naturalists Club of Ballarat will be present with 2 or 3 moth sheets and battery-powered lights.
We will set up at the shelters between the oval and the off-street carparking area in Spencer Street, between Kline St and Richards St. Please park in the car-park area.
Sheets will be set up from about 6pm, and moth-attracting lights turned on once it is dark enough.
What to bring:
Upload your photos to iNaturalist by 4th October for them to be included in the BioBlitz count.
Any questions? If you have questions, please comment on this post and I will attempt to answer them.
Watch this space!
As of the time of writing, Friday's weather forecast does not look promising. We are able to move the moth night to another night of the GSB in case of rain, strong winds, or freezing temperatures. A decision will be made closer to the time whether to go ahead on Friday or postpone to another night. Announcements will be posted in this project, so check before heading out on Friday.
