Purple Rain - Prince

The heavy downpours started at about 02:00 on Sunday morning and persisted throughout most of the day, but still there were a couple of interesting returns from the Moth Traps and bits an pieces of note in the field.

 We start with another Migrant and an addition to the

Year List

 PEARLY UNDERWING

 along with an Insect we haven't seen since the Spring

CHESTNUT

 Our second for the year but remarkably only the third ever

a relatively common species

L-ALBUM WAINSCOT

During the process we did record our first Autumnal

GREYLAG GEESE

 while

 CORNARIUS MALACHIODES

are pushing their way through the lawn, while a highly vocal

WHIMBREL

passed overhead.

The only other birds worthy of a shot

 were this brightly lit, male

PHEASANT

an all too mobile

KINGFISHER

along with another juvenile

PHEASANT

For the rest of our wander we were almost totally reliant on

Plant Life with

 COMMON TOADFLAX

 and

 COPRINUS HETEROSELOSUS

 that is until this

CHIFFCHAFF

turned up

 and then coincidentally followed by

PURPLE TOADFLAX
