Thanks Mark, you and Leuba also have a good year. I did type the correct data in but seems to have not saved. Corrected now =) This was a long bush walk this morning but there's not many insects here.

Have a great 2013 Martin. I note you're saying it's on the coast near Buxton so I presume it they are extra delicious.
