Last night I was staying over with my sisters in a Warwickshire village. The half moon shining in through the velux window was no brighter than in London but the power of the moon light was so much more apparent. Light pollution in London is such that it is never truly dark, but here out in the countryside the light shared by the moon was wonderful – and noticeably stronger that when I had been there the previous week. The night and its variable darkness is something we often fail to appreciate, and yet from a wildlife point of view it is as important as daytime.
