One Swallow Does Not a Summer Make!

 The double wammy of what to some might be considered bad news was countered by the same in as much as the Moth Traps stayed active on the Heath all night and although nothing new, there were some returning 'pretties' by way of:-

BORDERED BEAUTY
SCALLOPED OAK
along with the ever welcome
GOLD SPOT
while
up to 1,000
STRALINGs
continue to grace the tennis court and lawn
with once again a splash of colour coming from the
ROWAN BERRIES
with
BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY
showing well as a back-drop.
both
WILLOW WARBLER
and
CHIFFCHAFF
have been showing up in numbers as they hea for the Coastal Fringes and
 the inevitable flight across the Channel
while this may be the last we se of juvenile
STONECHAT
as adulthood is not far away
and maybe the last of the
GREYLING BUTTERFLIES
A call from the troops at the Fenceing Centre ended the day on a real high note as they rightly knew an 'open to view'
SWALLOWs NEST
would be
of likely interest
to both
yourselves
nd Me.
Here's hoping they also
make it to the
Other Side
(all c4 youngsters)
