FIRE - Crazy World of Arthur Brown

While we do not wish to cause any 'Heart Attacks' we think it best to break the news gently to our Valued Readers, that this is the penultimate Post of the Bagsy Blog. No time now for reasons or explanations, but all will be revealed soon.

 Another

 and rather acrobatic

 CONVOLVULUS HAWK-MOTH

 which at times was even doing 'barrel rolls'.

 OAK HOOK-TIP

 HOVERFLY

Volucella pellucens
and while monitoring the Harbins Garden Trap

we found a first for the Autumn

 FIRECREST

Starting our rounds as ever at Parley Pond there was something

of a surprise as this image only features 3 of a total c28

 COLLARED DOVE

which it is hoped are representative of a successful breeding season here,

but feared more likely to be, like the above, a part of an Autumn influx.

 At the Irrigation Pond there was either the same or another

 REED WARBLER

while a hunting

 KESTREL

along with a 

 CHIFFCHAFF

were located further down the lane.

On the Heath, but more particularly on the newly turned earth

which is now the far more shallow

Balancing Pond,

 a number of Birds were found but only 2 obliging enough to afford a shot or two.

 WHEATEAR

 and the

 'young, pied'

CARRION CROW

 GRAYLING BUTTERFLY

was well camouflaged among the Gorse and Heather while a

 WILLOW WARBLER

seemed more that happy to allow a photo-call.
Finally, on a return to a previously BLANK

Gravel Pit

we found this little poser

GREY WAGTAIL
