Now, those are the words that a girl wants to hear when she gets home after a hard day at work…<\/p>\n

What could it be?<\/p>\n

A bar of chocolate? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

A\u00a0nice steak? \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

A bottle of champagne? \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

But I paused, and asked the question “Is it edible?”.\u00a0 The reply “it could be” didn’t exactly fill me with confidence that we were talking about ‘exciting’ in my terms rather than Martin’s.<\/p>\n

Just to explain my hesitation; as many of you know, Martin has lots of enthusiasm for anything connected with natural history.\u00a0 Birdwatching, whales and\u00a0dolphins are just the tip of the iceberg.\u00a0 Lichens are a bit esoteric by anyone’s standards, but he’s approaching that apparently mind-bending subject with the same enthusiasm\u00a0that I’m assured he approached fungi, mosses and liverworts while he was still at infant’s school.\u00a0 Moth-trapping is one of his favourite activities though, and with our garden list now approaching 250 species there’s always a sense of anticipation whenever we open the trap in a morning.\u00a0 On workdays that’s usually done after I’ve left for work…<\/p>\n

With an ever-growing media library (images, video and now sound recordings), and a house filled with gadgets, nets\u00a0and sample pots it could be just about anything waiting in the fridge…<\/p>\n

And here it is;<\/p>\n
