Caravan of Love - The Housemartins

 On the 'up-side' it was welcoming to see that Summer fell on a Sunday this year but entered with a whimper as it seems it will also leave us? Despite that we have been lucky enough to record a few migrants, every one counts in this part of the county, as the trend continued.

All from the Moth Traps incuded returning spesies such as

PURPLE BAR
GREEN CARPET
along with the numerous
BLACK ARCHES
while first up across the avian world was this
spectacularly marked
juvenile
STARLING
which, as you can see,
we are making the very most of!
While in the compound it dawned on us that some, maybe most, of you may not be familiar with our 3
Late Bronze Age
TUMULI'S
2 obscured by growth and this one refurbished.
Turning the Reptile Covers we discovered another
quiet different
SMOOTH SNAKE
just nudging our annual total into double figures.
After a short foray into the woodland we came away with some welcome
FUNGI
EARTHBALL
CRIMSON ELF CAP
and
FALSE CHANTERELLE
before jamming into the annual spectacle of the mustering
HOUSE MARTINs
as we saw them earlier in the year
which is
(ditto)
the 5th consecutive year we have been privy to this spectacle!
On the way back we could not resit the temptation of slotting into
GEORGE STUBBS
mode once again!
