The Raven - Genesis

It seems an age since the Week-End, but it is Wednesday, so here is the promised Part II from then. Sunday morning I had detailed Dave to keep watch while I knocked up the coffee and as the caffeine was perking I nipped outside to see how he was doing. All Bloody Right I would say, with
RAVEN
(left),
not seen or heard here for over a month now, and
KINGFISHER
which has in fact now become daily.
Re-entering Slight II and with kettle poised over cup, there was a yell from outside 
"OSPREY"
yes, OK can I get on with pouring the coffee now
this being the second time Dave has managed this same fete
in 2 Springs - I think he brings them with him? 
To match our luck from above, there were also a few things of interest in the
Moth Traps
BRINDLED PUG 
 EARLY TOOTH-STRIPED

 and a far better example, with 'green hue', from yesterday's haul,
and
 DOTTED BORDER
all new for 2015
along with
 EARLY GREY
and
 PALE PINION
 DOR BEETLE
and
 the first
CADDISFLY
of the year, there will surely be more!
Just liked the look of this
SILVER BIRCH
while back at Parley Pond the
COOTs
were definitely on the
War Path.
 7-SPOT LADYBIRD
seem to be everywhere at the moment.
male MUTE SWAN T7B and his Missus
have decided on exactly the same spot
on Parley Pondside where they hatched c8 Cygnets last year.
 GREEN ALKANET
now in bloom
 COMMON PILL BUG
spotted 'glistening' in the sunshine on the Heath Path.
and hot off the press from early morning today a sight not seen at
Parley Pond before with
 HARBINS FARMHOUSE
in the background
 another
GREEN SANDPIPER
