Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2

With things at the traps falling into the disaster catagory we will show the returns as

 yet another

DOTTED BORDER

 a bit of a nifty Micro

(we don't do Micros)

but did send it off to Dave Foot who pronounced it to be a 

Diurnia fagella

seemingly very common at this time of year

along with a

CADDISFLY

are you bored yet?

With the property seeming to offer little more on the day wemy
Apprentice Chloe and I that is
 decided to high tail it to

 BLASHFORD LAKES

where, for the fist time ever it was totally devoid of people save for the lady unlocking

and there were plenty of 'common' woodland birds to be seen.

 BULLFINCH

 GOLDFINCH

CHAFFINCH

 DUNNOCK

 LESSER REDPOLL

LESSER REDPOLL

 SISKIN

 GREY SQUIRREL's

 CHAFFINCH (male)

 more

SISKIN's

and just befor leaving the
Woodland Hide
both

GREENFINCH
and

LONG-TAILED TIT
put in an appearance as singles

The Felled Tree with Moss
just seemed an interesting and eye-catching subject as the new generation of

 SCARLET INK CAP
were noticed before crossing the road to take a look across

IBSLEY WATER

on the face of it a little quiet but jammed straight into a pair of

GREAT CRESTED GREBE

just performing the briefest clip of display.

Otherwise it was left to a decent number of

PINTAIL

to make up the number both beached

and waterborne.
 On parting, I stopped for the 7th time this year at
Kingfisher Lake
to try for a sighting of the now regularly overwintering

 FERRUGINOUS DUCK

 these are the only images we hold

 in the archive

 of a number of Ducks 'clicked' in Morocco in 2006
FERRUGINOUS DUCK
(a resident of central mainland Europe, parts of Africa and a toehold in Asia)
In recent years the lake has been block from view with
what must be incredibly expensive screening, while others have seen fit
to carve viewing ports in the canvas to aford views, presumabley, of this rare visitot to our shores.
I condone neither of these action especially as the view does not impinge on any residential
properties or other, just the lake!

THANKS FOR TUNING IN!
