female
BLACKBIRD
while on the Heath there was very little to rob with the best of a sorry bunch being a welcome
OAK BUSH CRICKET
maybe second generation
POPLAR HAWK-MOTH
along with a
GREAT DIVING BEETLE
while being entertained by the local

COMMON REDSTART
which we will
MILK
for all it is worth
as only the 3rd record
across the 10 years
we have been observing this plot.
QUALITY over QUANTITY

 it might be said!
