Obscured By Clouds - Pink Floyd

SOMETHING OF AN IMPROMPTU POST! 

Just got back from my Daily Rounds on a very foggy morning and where all that was recorded was Obscured By Clouds (of mist). It would be a little churlish to complain about the lack of Moths in the Traps when adding another 4 species to the Year List but, 16 Insects of just 9 Species ain't exactly representative of a average mid-May day!

 POPLAR HAWK-MOTH

which in a previous (larval) stage would have looked like this.

 LIME-SPECK PUG

 TREBLE LINES

 CLOUDED BORDER

 Now, there's some Good News and there's some Bad News

which starts with the news that the

MUTE SWAN

 CYGNETS

have hatched on Parley Pond.

Discarded Egg Shell.

Proud Parent Birds

and beautiful offspring.

A lone ROOK which just happened to be close by. 

On the other hand, the pair of

COOT

on the Irrigation Pond have now abandoned a 'second' nest, which

once held 7 eggs which now seem to have been predated. 

 NIL DESPERANDUM

as they are already embarked on the building of a third nest on the

site of last years first, which also came to naught!

There was not time this morning for even a cursory look as

to what this Plant might be, but get the feeling our friend

John Gifford

may well come up with the answer before close of play today.
WOOD SPURGE
Well done and Thanks John! 

It's over to Harbins Farm House for dinner later, so to you all

BON APETIT

and please consider sending our Link to your Families and Friends - Thanks!
