Up, Up and Away - The 5th Dimention

Only time for a short wander around the property before Hugh and I head for Heathrow Airport, hence the early post. It had been hoped that a milder evening might have brought a few Moths to the 3 traps set last night, but unfortunately temperatures plummeted resulting in not a single Insect being caught AGAIN!

 A terrific SUNRISE viewed through the branches of WILLOWS

 along the banks of the RIVER STOUR.

 Only early HOUSE SPARROWs seemed to be on the wing

 before the COBHAM JET AIRCRAFT

heading off no doubt for the 'Thursday War' practise with the

Royal Navy.

 It was predominantly 'Thrushes' in the garden this morning

but only this very poor image of a SONG THRUSH. Others

on parade included Fieldfare, Blackbird, Redwing and Robin.

 

 For the last couple of days I had been intending to see how work

on the Solar Panels had been progressing, and in the Main Yard

plant and other vehicular traffic had increased dramatically.

 

 A little further on the Security Fence Brigade

 had been hard at it

 having already erected along 2 sides of the first 100 acre field.

 On the way I spotted JANET taking FLIPPER for a walk,
(SEE YOU SOON JANET)

 while back at her stables much progress was seen on the

'New Build'

 with the first roof panels heading aloft before the frost had thawed.

Looks like the 'Little Gentleman in the Black Velvet Waistcoat'

is back on (or under) the Parley lawns! So called as 'toasted' by the Jacobites when King William III died in 1702 of pneumonia following a broken collar bone after a fall from his horse. It is said that the horse had stumbled on a mole hill starting the King's condition much to the delight of his arch enemies afore mentioned.

 Just a single LILY BLOOM now survives in the garden.

Hope to talk again tomorrow from our new destination!
