Saturday 23rd June

Today Steve the warden went away on his annual 3 week holiday. So I was left in charge for that time. The island is usually prety quiet at this time in terms of visitors and bird. We start to study butterflies and moths with more interest. There have been some very interesting records of moths over the years. We put out a moth trap every night, the moths are attracted to a flourescent bulb. The variety of colours and patterns is incredible, perhaps we rarely appreciate them as they come out night?
