If Not For You - George Harrison

With absolutely no relevance to the content of this post at all,
If Not For You - (Link)
has simply been my 'song of the moment' recently.
However, If Not For You - No Point Having a Blog!
Many Thanks All Round.
A few images and video clips have accumulated over the past few days,
so maybe an appropriate moment to do a catch up Post.

Milky and Misty Sunrises over the past couple of days

and with overnight temperatures continuing to hover in lower double figures,
a few returns from the traps - not all Moths.

BRINDLED PUG

A selection of variations on
CLOUDED DRAB

A considered rather small

GREAT DIVING BEETLE
and then a most unexpected but welcome find on the Heath what looks like
a 'juvenile'

SAND LIZARD

lacking the brighter 'green' colouration

of an adult.

Not under a cover at all but perched just outside

basking in what sunshine there was

it allowed me to remove the cover which was just across its tail

then didn't move a muscle

when sitting beside it.

BOG MYRTLE

still in 'winter plumage' but showing some signs of new growth.

Bleached Fox droppings
(we hope you are not having your breakfast)

SLOW WORMS

now very much on the increase but we still await a
Smooth Snake.

GREY HERON
and

juvenile
MUTE SWAN
on Parley Pond

while Chris Sugden has been busily planting another 300 yards of

HEDGEROWS
close to the Solar Panel Compounds.

COAL TIT

and

CHIFFCHAFF

now in full voice

on a daily basis and

LINNET

taking full advantage of the by-product of the recently arrived Sheep

as nesting material

 There is lamb's wool under my naked feet.

the wool is soft and warm gives off some kind of heat!

LONG-TAILED TIT

also

feathering their own nest followed by a sight not noted before the

BELTED GALLOWAY CALF

suckling!

The COOTs at the Irrigation Pond have laid the
First Foundations and

 BLACK ANT COLONY

are springing up everywhere.

BLUE TIT

LITTLE RINGED PLOVER

in the Solar Panel Compound

look set to stay and we will be keeping you posted.

c3 summer plumage
LITTLE GREBE

have been something of a strange sight at the Gravel Pit

3 x

STONECHAT

with a gaping, not singing

MEADOW PIPIT

An all too short visit to

PORTLAND BILL

came up with nothing more than a couple of
ROCK PIPIT

a distant Great Skua to far to bother raising the camera
and a couple of clips of the sea.

looking towards

PULPIT ROCK
