A lesson about moths was an unexpected bonus for East Hampshire MP Damian Hinds when he paid a visit to Chawton wildlife travel agents Naturetrek.
Staff member and moth expert Chris Wilkinson introduced Mr Hinds to a huge poplar hawk-moth and several other species which were hiding and resting in a tree in the fields outside the company’s offices.
Naturetrek was holding one of its monthly open days because it is not located anywhere near a high street - its home is Mingledown Barn off Wolf’s Lane, built by Jane Austen’s brother.
