Members and friends joined us on 29th June, 2019 and, between 10.30pm and midnight, when about 53 glowing females were sighted. This is still a long way from the record of 488 counted on one evening in 2007. They start to glow between 10.30 and just after midnight. See here for a schedule of numbers seen since 1992. Thanks go to Claire Peters and Peter Fishenden for the photographs.
