Tonight we have been re-invaded by large numbers of large moths on our windows. 

Since about 8:30pm (it's now 9:30 PM) one or other of our pair of Tawny Frogmouths has come in 4 times to pluck some tucker off the window.   It has actually hit the window twice and landed short and plucked the prey the other times.  It is using a small branch on a Yellow Box, about 8m away from the window, as its hunting perch.

Very hard to concentrate on Top Gear with such interesting diversions!
