Into the Great Wide Open - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

A bit of a dramatic start to the day with overnight temperatures
still hovering in the mid-teens a
 SATIN BEAUTY
 graced the traps. 
OK, a little worn but given this is only the second time ever captured we'll settle for that!
Along with it came another 2 'firsts for the year' by way of
 LIGHT ARCHES
and
 SHEARS
while on the 
Unwanted Guest List 
came a
NURSURY WEB SPIDER
both this and the Satin were confirmed by 2 of our 
Weymouth Correspondants.
On the way 
Into the Great Wide Open 
 we noticed that the WAYFARER
had sprung into bloom before encountering a rather special
 juvenile
STONECHAT 
Those of you who have been with us since the Second Coming may remember our comments
on Stonechat being a possble breening bird  at the Triange inside the Solar Panel Compound.
 Well it would seem, our very much hoped for prediction
 has come true

with proud parent birds in close attention
 this is a 
First for this part of the Recording Area.
Otherwise something of a quiet day but chance then to try for some slightly better footage,
as promised, of the young
COOT
 For some days now we have turned our attentions to a
 Mammal
that is seen very occassionally in this area
 and no sooner had the tought faded out popped this
 STOAT
"our thoughts have now gravitated to 
Red Squirrel"!
 There isn't a scale on Earth that can measure just how much we
LOVE 
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
so we'll leave you with the sensational
