Dear Moth-er's,
During my visit to the British Bird Fair last month I met an artist/photographer named Chris Manley who has recently produced an excellent book called The Moths of Trigon which is a photographic record of the moths (macro & micro) that he recorded and photographed on the Dorset estate of Trigon.
From 1993 to 2005 Chris recorded through light trapping and field work more than 700 moths. This book represents 508 photographs of those moth species displayed on 43 full colour plates in A4 format. Both the photographs and print quality is very good and prove more than adequate for identification purposes, above all though it is a lovely 'browse' book, with a feel good factor.
There are around 30 additional pages on the records including dates for the species and plant association etc. This book is absolutely superb value at £11 (which includes post/packing) and for every book sold a percentage will go to Butterfly Conservation- a generous gesture to a most worthy cause close to all our hearts.
For more information visit www.pavoniaprint.co.uk and at this point may I state I have no personal involvement with the company, I heartily recommend this book as an avid natural history book lover. It should be on every Moth-er's bookshelf.
My Regards,
Bill
