On the Wings of Love - Jeffery Osbourne

 Feast rather that Famine we have at last sorted the images from the weekend which, along with our Weymouthian friend

DAVE FOOT
was something of a Moth Fest with far too many for one Post so we will eke them out.
BLOXWORTH SNOUT

was undoubtedly the Best among a fair size Bunch as not only a First for Year but also the first we have ever caught which is second only to the

EARLY MOTH
secured back in January. Among he rest of the mix were found
FESTOON
a rather bulky
LOBSTER MOTH
GREEN PUG
both
SMALL ELEPHANT and ELEPHANT HAWK-MOTHs
L-ALBUM WAINSCOT
and for now at least
SILVER-GROUND CARPET
while the rest of the weekend was predominated by other Insects as well.
However, a couple of
SHELDUCK
not personally seen thus far this year but have been noted by others
cut a welcome distraction across the clear blue sky.
another great favourite among our 6-legged friends is the most striking
GOLD-RINGED DRAGONFLY
but unfortunately find the video clip of one being predated by a Spider would not glue onto the page.
additionally a single
RAVEN
was recorded and most welcome a the species has kept a very low profile this year, while both
BANDED DEMOISELLE
(male)
(with female)
in a rather romantic Heart Shaped mating posture, (on the wings of love)  and
BEAUTIFUL DEMOISLLE
(female)
(male)
not quite in the mood yet.
BLUE-TAILED DAMSELFLY,
also 'in the mood', might well have been the last of it had it not been for the Saturday shinanigans
at Windsor and Cornwall alike as a
crowd had formed along the
Bournemouth International Airport
perimetre fence to enjoy the
Fantastic Spectacle
that is the
RED ARROWS
likely coming into land for fuel prior to speedong off to
both destinations to entertain the
Rich and Famous!

(There They Go!)
