Two Days in May

The intention was that there was to be 

NO POST

today, in fact we were on the very cusp of knocking the Blog

on the head altogether! Time and Readership are the 2 main issues

with so many other things we would like to get stuck into, and with daily totals

now hovering perilously close to the 'cut off' double figures. Fact is we not only

want to continue publication, as a priority, but also need the Ego Trip if you like.

Again we ask you all to put pen to paper and simply E-Mail 'all addressees' (one click)

with the simple message "Google The Bagsy Blog and become a Daily Reader!

THANK YOU IN ANTICIPATION

 total ever seen here all together but never all 5 'in shot'!

 GREEN ALKANET

while the resident

RED-EARED TERRAPIN

also took to the bank for the first time this year for a spot of sun.

Otherwise, the last couple of days have just been a mish-mash of this and that.

 MEADOW PIPIT

 are well into the breeding cycle, but as yet no juveniles have been noted.

 Male 

STONECHAT

 what is thought to be the cocoon of a
Ruby Tiger Moth,

 the lairs of
FUNNEL SPIDER
cover the whole area

 and we still haven't quite made our minds up if this is a juvenile

STONECHAT
or not, possibly a pale/washed-out female?
