Glory Day's - Pulp

FROM THE ALBUM 'THIS IS HARDCORE'

It wasn't many days ago that we were announcing a host of Wildlife 'finds' and accompanying images, since when the foul weather has set in. This hasn't dampened our resolve to 'get out there', albeit mostly confined to the St-Range Rover, but there doesn't seem to have been a lot going on. With Feast having turned to Famine, hopefully only in the short term, if things remain the same we feel a visit to the archive coming on! By coincidence that is where we start today, as a major and personal anniversary is clocked up. 

 Round about mid-day at Ferrybridge, Portland 5 years ago to the day this

RED-NECKED STINT

was found but stayed for less than half an hour.
It remains the only one of the species ever to have been recorded in Dorset
and as far as is known only the 8th record for Great Britain.

Question is, where have those 60 months gone?

Underwing Secrets!

 Some Authorities give

XANTHOGRAMMA PEDISSEQUUM

the vernacular name

 SUPERB ANT-HILL HOVERFLY

which seem right and fitting given its appearance and association with

Black Ants.
