Barry was a visitor to the area, as a bird watcher, from 1964, and has lived here since 1985.He
                   started with a Heath Trap for the 1986 and 87 season and a Robinson Trap from 1988 onwards. 
                   The trap-site is in a small back garden about five  hundred yards from the beach at Greatstone, 
                   and has featured  in the site profiles in the"Atropos" periodical. It has the enviable distinction of 
                   being the most outstanding site in  terms of species and  species numbers. Over the years it has
                   turned up one new species for Britain, Plumed Fanfoot,  in 1995 (and again in 1999). 
                   Also of note:- Dusky Hook-tip (1991), Blair's Mocha (1988), Sub-angled Wave (1995,2001),

                   Barry also counts all the moths that occur in the trap. From his records it has been possible
                   to extract the  total number of moths seen each year. Of the commonest 110 species in the area, 
                   30 species  have shown an increase, 67 species a decrease and 13 species that have remained 
                   roughly the same. The last ten years have seen a lot of the 'waste' ground in this area disappear 
                   to housing development. 
                  The total number of species seen at Barry's site, to the end of 2006 stands at 488 macro and 105 
                  species of pyral. The most species seen in one night is 103 macro on 8th July 1989 and 29 pyrals 
                  in July 1996, August 1997, 98, July 05 and 06.
