The Spirit of Autumn Past - Mostly Autumn

Maybe we were a little hasty in branding the weather of the new month the same as that of September. OK, the first day was dreadful but since then not bad at all so we continue the search of our Recording Area.

 HAWTHORN SHEILDBUG

 while identifying this splendidly shiny and one of  complex group of

 are starting to show up in their new colours, while the single 

 TEAL

 seems not to have caught up yet or is more likely a female?

All else there was a lone

ROE DEER

 SMALL HEATH BUTTERFLY

AUTUMN HAWTHORN

it is believed they strip these redundant aircraft for spares?

Finally, from our dear friends in Thailand

a couple of Moths we wouldn't mind seeing in our traps.
Thanks to Jean-Francois and Roong.
