These have arrived! - the finished, hardback copies of a little book I've written about the joyfully unpredictable experience of producing Father Ted. Publication is Feb 20th but I'd like to give away two copies early - RT by Saturday 6pm and my dog Watson will pick the winners.

Fantastic day with Bob McMillan in Glen Carron on Sunday. Being relatively new to butterflies this was my first Green Hairstreak and what a beautiful little butterfly. Also good numbers of Four-spotted Chasers, Green-Veined Whites and Orange Tip butterflies.

Great day with Bob McMillan and Seth Gibson at Talisker Bay, Isle of Skye, and thank goodness for walking poles on steep and rocky terrain. Both Transparent and Talisker Burnet moths were found early on as well of a bonus of Dew Moths and Graylings butterflies.
