Davy's on the Road Again - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

A 'brilliant' vocal rendition by Chris Thompson
We'll have to start by taking a wander back a few days to last

weekend when our friend

 DAVE FOOT

paid us something of a quickly arranged but most welcome visit, and

with it a remainder of some of his foraging efforts back in the Spring.

Considered now to be the one that nearly got away

 SOUTHERN CHESTNUT

may never have reached the Record Book had it not been for

Dave's timely reminder.

He also brought with him a bit of decent weather

with just a couple of showers plus a

DOUBLE RAINBOW
with
Alexander's Band (LINK)

just about visible.
That was also the day of some good Fungi such as

 BROWN ROLL RIM

 FALSE CHANTERELLE

FALSE DEATHCAP

 OYSTERLETS

 and

SHAGGY INK-CAP

THANKS FOR THE ID's DAVE!

Back to the present and still a few things gracing the
Moth Traps

2 shade variations of
YELLOW-LINE QUAKER

 and similarly
FEATHERED THORN

GARDEN CARPET

was unexpected

 while it was interesting to note that there are still a few

 HORNET
to be seen.

 ICHNEUMON WASP

There was also this unidentified Fly overcome by

ENTOMOPHTHORS MUSCAE

which is a species of Fungus which causes a fatal disease in Flies.
We saw numerous examples of this last year, but so far this has been
the only recorded occurrence here in 2015.

 We also have Phase Four of the Solar Panel Farm underway now

 with these 2 images taken 3 days ago

with this one showing the progress since.

OK, agreed a cultivar but nonetheless this
SUMAC, perhaps more commonly know as STAGHORN,
is at its optimum best right now.

A brief and not very well lit snippet of a

KESTREL in Hover,

and what has now become a daily feature

on the Lawn Tennis Court

a feeding

GREEN WOODPECKER

with a bit of

footage.
