Red Sky in the Morning?

 The day couldn't have broken very much better with for starters this

ROSIN SKY
a harmonic cluster od bird songs and no overnight wind or rain. Thinking things could not get much better the phone rang and it was Jose the Solar Panel Foreman reporting that the 5th

and final Moth Trap was connected and running and

a corral to keep the sheep away from the power source, and that

All Steaming Lights Were Burning Brightly!

 Not a catch that was going to break any records at 10 Insects x 6 Species best of which was again

OAK BEAUTY
and ironically Moths in every trap except for this one.

Otherwise, and to the clatter of a passing

CHINOOK

HELICOPTER

up north and across both ponds no more than this lone male

TUFTED DUCK
representing the Wildfowl while also at the

Gravel Pit
firstly a single then a brace of fine looking

LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLs
with that being reflected (unusually) by considered more than a dozen

difficult to click and impossible to count

due to the ever thickening of the tree-line along the course of the
Moors River.
Returning south it looks every bit as though the

Subsiduary Pond
MUTE SWANs

have followed in the Webbed Footsteps of their Pals on the Main Pond,
while at great distance from another veiwpoint

a couple of
HARES

which at one point but not captured a brief spell of
'BOXING'

and at the final knockings took a look at the still partly flooded

RIVER STOUR
which doesn't seem to be receding very much!
