Remembering today those who fought the Battle of Monte Cassino as part of the Italian campaign in WWII. My grandfather was seconded to the 8th Indian Division as a dispatch rider and his motorcycle was hit by a sniper. Thankfully, he survived.

Another new moth in the trap this morning, a Cypress Carpet, which I understand is not too common. #moths #mothing Selsey Birder

Also pleased to find my first Buff-tip in the trap this morning. What a master of camouflage! #moths #mothing Selsey Birder

Silver Y on the beach this morning at Selsey Bill. Unfortunately about an hour later it was snaffled by a Starling collecting food.

I have just been going through my photos from Friday night and I still can't believe how amazing this was.
