So here on Coll, we will, from time to time, set a light trap in a suitable location, attracting moths from the surrounding habitat and then, once identified, releasing them back unharmed. We will advertise these events on our website and posters. Visitors are welcome to join us in the evening for the big switch-on, and to watch any early arrivals, and again on the following morning to witness the \u2018grand unveiling\u2019 (or \u2018hunt the moth\u2019 \u2013 according to our fortunes!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The Great Sea Watch <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are also\nplanning a sea watching day, when a group of us will gather on a headland and\nspend a few hours watching what comes past \u2013 be it fishy, flappy, floaty or\nbuzzy. Maximum wildlife enjoyment for minimum effort. Watch out for details of\nthis event in due course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Dawn Chorus Walk<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A staple of any wildlife watcher\u2019s calendar, the dawn chorus has now become something of an annual ritual for WildSmiths in Scotland. If you fancy an early start, do ask us about our dawn chorus event this year.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further information, and to find out how to book, please contact Greg or Sarah on 07775 520118 or by email to <a href=\"mailto:info@wildsmiths.co.uk\">info@wildsmiths.co.uk<\/a>.
