Down By the Riverside - Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Lean Pickings from the Moth Traps again yesterday so with little to ID, photograph or commit to the note book it was an early start for a walk around the farm.
After the 'blow' a tranquil
RIVER STOUR
but of note the first Cetti's Warbler was heard since late winter.
Whether they have bred again this year remains a mystery but we will
be keeping eyes and ears peeled.

The flowers on the invasive
THORN APPLE

CAT'S EAR
The hedgerows are already looking Autumnal ripening
HAWTHORN
This FUNGI looks like it should be edible but I for one
have not been brave enough to try it.
GREAT PLANTAIN
As 'niffty' a little Spider as you'd want to see.
NIGAMA WALCKENAERI
Considered a good find in the Harbins Garden
WHITE-LEGGED DAMSELFLY
the Spider and Damselfly were both caught in the Sweep Net.
Once again our THANKS go to John Gifforn for assistance in 
identifying several of the above.
