Sheep - Pink Floyd

From the album Animals.

 Something of a minor surprise early morning yesterday as attending the c2 homeward Moth Traps to hear a tardy

FIELDFARE
singing in the nearby trees - thought they had all headed north? Otherwise, with nothing to report from the homeward traps we did catch just fleeting glimpses of a
KINGFISHER 
on the bank of the Stour  but across the board still no signs of a 'true' migrant bird!
Numbers of ROE DEER remain steady
down south, which was all to report so off to the newly sited c3 Moth Traps in the Solar Panal Compounds up north which drew first blood with a Common Quaker on the first outing and a
f.f.y.
YELLOW HORNED
along with a decent number of others in its wake.
Unfortuneately, arriving at the main compound it was found that the
SHEEP
had also been returned to the fold,
maybe not condusive with Moth Traps?
We'll have to wait and see, with Sheep one side and
CHAROLAIS
on the other and the c2
Rare Breed Cattle,
always at great distance, on our part of the Heath.
Part of our Daily Doings has now become a 30 minute or so vigil at this
VIEWPOINT
in hopes of a passing Goshawk?
Finally, and on exiting the last SPC there came the roar of Jet Fighter Aircraft but at great distance, with our outside correspondent informing us that they were
ROYAL NAVY HAWK FIGHTER's
paying a last salute as being phased out of service.

(maybe needless to say the image is borrowed from elsewhere)
