I've thought along ...Thanks for the suggestion. I've thought along the same lines, Adam, but haven't gone down that road because of the glasses DSLR and head torch problems. I have to wear reading glasses for viewing the moths, making notes and reading the field guides, but have to take them off for everything else, so they tend to be on and off like a yoyo. Getting quick access to them would be an issue, as would using my head torch with a brimmed hat: I've tried it and it doesn't really work, and of couse there's the camera. What I intend doing is to look for a lightweight scarf to cover my nose and mouth. I may still have midged ears and watering eyes, but at least sneezing and streaming nose will be a thing of the past and I will no longer have to compromise my vegetarianism by ingesting all those midges. That thin, gauzy material womens' head scarfs used to be made of would be ideal.

A wide brimmed hat made of thick material with a mosquito head net over it really helps! It probably won't keep out all the midges and it does slightly obscure things, but I think it would make for a much more pleasant experience!
