My word Joe that's a great shot of this moth.

Now all we need to do is identify the digit ;)

Haha D.
That is one very tired digit. The 'owner' had been doing reserve tours all day, then spent the night doing this moth trapping event, and the next day, he carried on and did a dawn chorus event! Rather him than me!
