My main interest is in Lepidoptera.I spend half the year (Spring, Summer and early Autumn) in North Wales, where I live by a coastal sand dune system. There are very good oak woodlands nearby.

I run a regular moth trap by my house and in nearbye woods, upland areas and reedbeds .

I am involved in local conservation issues , especially the Marsh Fritillary and Dingy Skipper butterflies.
