Colour My World - Backstreet Boys

 If nothing else we certaily got a blaze of colour out of yesterday's sortie but, unless you count the persistant 'cackling' of the c3 (the other camera-shy)

GUINEAFOWL
it is believed we have heard the last of the Dawn Chorus for this year. However, like most things in nature as one thing goes another takes its place which in this instance is the daily toing and froing of a modestly sized skien of
GREYLAG GEESE
heading west across the early morning sky to the maize stubble fields beyond, and returning east later in the day, most likely to the sanctuary of the Avon Causway to roost.
Still determined to wring the very last specimen out of the Moth Traps we caught what might also be the last addition to the 2021 List in the shape of the very variable
GEM
the top Insect being the one caught with the other just an examply of variation.
During that process, another Tale of the Unexpected as we noticed a male
BULLFINCH
perched a few yards away and a scarce, to say the least, visitor to the garden.
Far more usual was the continued precense of the small 'charm' of
GOLDFINCH
at the pond side and adding to the
Ocean Colour Scene but there are always those that will only see things in
Black 'n' White
COOT
Seems the
ROBIN
was paying no heed to the advisory notice as the 'combatants' of
none contact sports
pursued their own disciplins!
PHEASANTs
Not seen personnally, it would be considered ethical to include the
RED KITE
which invaded our air-space on the day as reported by the Dorset Bird Club, as flying across our air-space
as the MINSTRALs theme
continued with the escapee, yes still at large,
BELTED GALLOWAYs
still enjoy their new found freedom while finaly 3 'splashes' of colour in quick succession included
a difficult to click
KINGFISHER
at the Gravel Pit,
The autumn leaves drift by my window,
the autumn leaves of red and gold.
I see your lips, the summer kisses,

the sunburned hands I used to hold.

But I miss you most of all my darling when Autumn Leaves start to fall.

Nat King Cole
on the way to the Solar Panel Compound
where were found
c2, yes 2
RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE
within.
Think that has put a 'bit of colour' in all of our lives!!!!
