Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne

On the down-side, once again we attracted no Moths but on the opposite the Weather Forecaster's are now talking of a brief Indian Summer later in the month? Another indicator of the season, as if we need one, is the usual early morning arrival of hungry

MALLARDs
which roost in a far larger pond across the other side of the
River Stour
if or when they are not disturbed by the regular clatter of
MERLIN ROTORs
which may also be the reason there was no more than the resident
COOT
along with a few
GREENFINCH
With most of the "Autumn Leaf's having now passed by our window" (song) such things as
COMMON BUZZARD NESTs
are being revealed while nothing to do with the 'fall' we also located one of the long lost
RED-LEGGED PARTRIGE
in company with a couple of female
PHEASANTs
while hoping the other c2 will show themselves sometime soon.
Once again no signs of a Northern Thrush but corvid numbers such as Rooks and Jackdaw and more particularly
CARRION CROWs,
which most of these tiny black dots are, putting paided to the childhood learning that if there are just 2 or 3 then they are Crows or as in such a large flock then Rooks.
Across the Squash Patch there is now evidence of what is to become of the vast residue
which may bring to mind the name of a
World Famous Rock Band formed in Chicago in 1988 by messrs

Corgan, Wretzky, Iha and Chamberlin

and a most welcome image from 'Bomber' in Weymouth of 1970,s

Passenger Train
running along the quayside in Weymouth, passing one of, or arguably, the best restaurant in town and maybe the SS Sarnia secured alongside at the pier head - Cheers Both.
