  1. Obviously don't know about the other two but yes I am still plugging away. However not much of note recently - except for a Hummingbird Hawk-moth, but unlike you have been completely unable to get a photo of it as its whizzes around the Lavender flowers.

  3. Fantastic. 98 species of moth in one night is utterly inconceivable to me! Some corkers in there
