Desperately Seeking Something

in fact anything, as once again it has been something of a lack lustre day although what news we have is GOOD. Starting with the return of the 
 ST-RANGE ROVER,
which at least I am able to get in to, is back in working order.
Next a new Moth for the Year
 FEATHERED GOTHIC
 which brings the 2015 total of Macros to 299, what will bring up the
3 x TON?
SCARCE BORDERED STRAW
 is 'scarce' here so good to get a 'second' in as many weeks.
 VESTAL
is frequent but one which we cannot resist the temptation of.
 All too infrequent here this year
GARDEN CARPET
so good to see a return along with
 YELLOW BELLE
 PIED WAGTAIL
 are now showing up daily on Harbins lawn and Tennis Court,
 while in the Solar Panel Compound the young
ROE DEER
has grown considerably since our encounter at birth.
The back-filling of the Balancing Pond with good quality top-soil 
continues which is thought will hold the root-stock of the
proposed Reed and other Waterside Plants.
At the eastern end little has changed but still considered to bode well
for any passing Waterfowl, Waders and the like after completion?
With so little on offer then, it might be good fortune that 
Dave Foot 
sent us 3 of his Micro Moth photographs from a little further afield.
