More photos from Nant y Bai lead mines, Rhandirmwyn

I include, with permission, some of Chris Manley`s superb photographs of moths caught last night at Nant y Bai lead mines, just north of Rhandirmwyn. These absolutely first-class photographs are almost works of art, as well as being sharply in focus. Also note the vivid lichens on the lead mine spoil rocks.

                                                               Above: dark brocade.

                                                          Above: Crambus pascuella.
