Mediterranean C - Richard Wright (Pink Floyd)

 Mediterranean C Link
Yesterday began with a few common and uninvited visitors to Slight Return II

out of the starboard porthole could first be seen a pair of

MALLARD
followed by 2 brace of female

PHEASANT
we always welcome starting a new day on the Wild Side!

The Reader will also notice that we are still 'behind bars'
uncertain whether these are meant to hold us in or keep us out.

From the

MOTH TRAPS

 PEBBLE PROMINENT
(new for the year)

 a somewhat early appearance of

PIED SHIELDBUG

which was found to be holding an Equity Card so.......
Additionally

BLACK SEXTON BEETLE
with

attendant
PARASITES
was also secured.

This next item fits neatly under the heading

NOT BEFORE TIME!

 MEDITERRANEAN GULL,

 sometimes up to as many as 2 dozen,

 have been a daily feature here at 

Parley Court Farm

 for the past 2 weeks or more.

 Not before yesterday had we been anywhere near capturing them on camera

 but even the most 'fleet of wing'

don't escape us - yeah alright!

 Now popping up all over the place and adding some much needed colour

 DANDILION

and

CELANDINE

while withing the Solar Panel Compound

PIED WAGTAIL

are once again prospecting the redundant cable drums as potential nest sites.

Some unusual aviation action in our airspace with the arrival of a

 AIRBUS A400M ATLAS

 Military Transport Aircraft
followed in close succession by something

 completely baffling.
Thanks to our Dear Friend Roy Norris

 Over to you Mister Norris
we can now inform you that it is a
PILATUS PC - 12/47
and while 'on the wing' this sequence of shots involving a pair of

 EARLY BUMBLEBEE

 (look-out, he's behind you!)

 copulating or whatever Insects do?

These images will be consigned to the Fluke File later!

Also at Bournemouth International Airport large building projects continue

 with this area, which could have been described as HEATH, now

being readied for the construction of yet another factory where among
other things Aircraft 'Black Box' Recorders are to be manufactured.
We'll keep you posted on progress - if that's the right word?
and while we had already announced what may have been the last

REDWINGas Nature often does, we were proved wrong yesterday. 
Otherwise, just a couple of video clips from the Irrigation Pond of

CANADA GEESE
and

COOT
which are both thought likely to breed there??

and a lone

MAGPIE
Some interesting (if you go for that sort of thing) ground cover to end.

AZOLLA

more commonly known as

FAIRY MOSS

among other vernacular names.
