Lounge Lizard - Mott the Hoople

 A bit of a mixed bag as far as yesterday's Wildlife and Weather were concerned but nothing to keeps us Confined to Barracks!

GOLD SPOT
along with our second EAR MOTH were the best from a poor overnight haul but nicely ballanced with the first signs of
ORANGE FUNGI
and
PERSISTANT WAXCAP
MUSHROOM
and the rather strange looking but aptly named
HAIRY EARTH TONGUE
A day for turning the Herp's (Reptile) Covers started without even touching them as a most obliging
SAND LIZARD
soaking up some much needed rays
on which these creatures depend.
During the Spring we had concerns for our 2
ALDER BUCKTHORN TREES
but come the day all has turned out well and healthy.
Next was a case of 'hope' rather than any expectations as the
ADDER
our only venomous Snake
is considered 'rare' here!
but not so the humble
SLOW WORM
What little Sun there was seemed to have enticed a number of
BANDED
DEMOISELLE
and
BEAUTIFUL
DEMOISELLE
to take to the wings.
However, we have to end on something of a low note as we also found a
GREY HERON
perilously close to the nest of the Little Grebe's.
