The fine weather of last week gave us a bumper night with our moth trap on Friday at the Oa - nearly 300 moths of over 40 different species. Although this pales in comparison with some of the catches routinely made in other parts of the country at this time of year, this was a big total by our standards.

Dave's been taking a break from his media commitments and used the time to get out and find this Manchester treble-bar last week, a good record for the island.
