….about Moorhens.
Originally, @imightbewrong wrote (quotation marks omitted for clarity): 'natch
the apostrophe ' means that there is a letter or letters missing, i.e. don't, won't, can't - the apostrophe shows an 'o' is missing, i.e. do not, wo (will) not, cannot.
Therefore, it can be assumed that 'natch is missing a letter. As you correctly state, that letter would be an 's'.
Of course, the apostrophe is used for other reasons within the English language, like showing ownership of words etc...but I shan't (shall not) bore you with that.
My work here is done. Until someone better at written Englishthanthen pulls my post apart and corrects me

I'd never heard of Barry Island - I guess I should have broken out Google maps to solve that one.
Probably if any of these rules were relevant to me I would have scored higher
