This was not really at night, but rather within a few minutes of the official sunset which really was an hour later than the last of the sun shining in our little cove because of the hill above the cove, to its west and southwest. Nonetheless, and despite knowing the difference, I think of the moon, you do probably too, as a night-time thing.

In any case, here the moon was last night, yesterday evening, when it had just cleared the tall birches and the like in our neighbours' back garden, and floated above them in the eastern sky.
