Lightning Strikes Twice

 Under an almost

Mackerel Sky 

the day started with a mirror image of yesterday with a/the

HERALD

clinging on doggedly to the Starnge Rover while a/the

MERVEILLE du JOUR
was perched on one of the trap baffles.
(surely the same Insects as before?)

Otherwise, no more than a larva

A Hoverfly species along with plenty of

BOX TREE MOTHs

and "Oh, that's what they get up to as soon as your back is turned"
LUNAR UNDERWING
With nothing on the Irrigation Pond we moved next door to find the now semi-resident cob

MUTE SWAN
had moved station along with a most welcome and first of the Autumn trio of

female

juvenile or moulting smart looking male and a full blown male

TEAL

and where the juvenile
LITTLE GREBE

appears to be totally self sufficient and the parent birds absent.

A sparkling array of juvenile

STARLINGs

in the Solar Panel Compound

"are you looking at me Jimmy"
along with c2,

yes 2,

RAVENs
It has been a long time since we have seen such a thing!
Finally, something we did not want to see a domestic

CAT

catching, killing and eating a Wild Creature.
Dependant on which authority you follow it is estimated that such animals kill between
27 MILLION and 55 MILLION
Wild Birds in the UK alone annually - Google it!!!!
