Thanks for your answers. Mrs T&S seems to think it has 'urnal' at the end, and isn't nocturnal.

Diurnal?

It's the opposite of nocturnal so not, strictly speaking, correct...

Yes, I think Jackinthehat is right. I have heard that word many times before.

diurnal animals are active during the day and nocturnal ones active during the night. Don't think these words have anything to do dawn/dusk.
