LATE THURSDAY

Wondering if any who clicked the 'Argent link' yesterday let it run onto the following performance, as did I, to view the splended rendition by Kiss. If not it is certainly well worth a re-visit!

 We eventually got out to the traps, during a 15 minute lull, with low expectations which were adequately fulfilled! Among a megre bunch the best, if they can be described as such, were duplicates of

BLAIR'S SHOULDER-KNOT

BARRED SALLOW

our 46th MERVIELLE du JOUR of the Year

RED-GREEN CARPET

along with
CYPRESS CARPET 

Still causing some surprise is the dogged

WOOD PIGEON
still appearing to be incubation eggs for the 13th day? while as we reached the main gate as an

A340-600, a little obscured, was taking to the skies with, so we are told, another cargo. They have surely been dormant long enough here!

A couple of dozen

BLACK-HEADED GULLs

were hanging on to the overhead wires against a less than favourable sky
but nonetheless maintaining their balance while c2

MUTE SWANs

were taking advantage of the stiff breeze

better highlighted via this short clip.

Another, or

maybe just as likely

the same

COMMON SNIPE

as early last week?
If there are any advantages to the stormy days on the Heath it is surely from the

ASPENs,

last to turn brown and loose their leaves,

but most pleasing to both ear and eye.
Once again there was little by way of Birdlife but the
Moth Traps may have come to the rescue with the likes of

the tiny

TAWNY COCKROACH
