The fact that I was gorging myself, and putting up with the only ale they had on offer (Unworthingtons super chilled bitter beer, commercially produced for those who know not what they do) at a Wedding reception, meant that I was unable to carry out my half hourly patrols of the lights and traps.
This has been very productive over the weeks, but I was thrilled to return and find a STREAMER 1747 on the shed window above the 36 watt Blacklight.
