One Swallow Does Not A Summer Make!

 Still catching decent returns from all traps but more particularly last night when the FOOTMEN arrived in the form of c3 different species.

COMMON FOOTMAN

ROSY FOOTMAN

and not to be outdone

ORANGE FOOTMAN
with surely others to follow in days to come

and just as something of a conundrum these wings of a 

LOBSTER MOTH
were also found within - fine dining for your average Spider. and thanks Dave!

Walking off the Heath we found evidence in the mud of likely
PHEASANT

joined by ROE DEER at some stage before entering the
Solar Panel Compound.

Within we once again found this brave RABBIT awaiting our arrival
and bats not an eye-lid no matter how close we wander.

There was also evidence of about a dozen Sheep that seem to have slipped the attention of the Shepherdess as the other 150+ have now been moved elsewhere as yet another

WOOD PIGEON
bites the dust.

Just could not resist a representative of the now 'dozens' of juvenile

MISTLE THRUSH
nor for that matter

STARLINGs

of the same age group

looking as if playing

Hide and Seek
or simple defending its own little

Plat Pen
before moving on to the find of the day.

Not a surprise

as an

ANNUAL EVENT

as recently fledged

SWALLOWs

gather on any convenient

fence-line

to feed, preen and rest

in readiness for the long journey ahead!
