Helicopter - Roy Wood

For yet another day it was left to the

Moth Traps

to come up with the only 

First's for the Year

and singles of each in both cases in the shape of 

SMALL WHITE WAVE

and

NARROW-WINGED PUG

Additionally, there was also something of a blurred example of why we don't like

SPIDER's

in the traps as this one nicks, what could have proved to be a rarity,

for its breakfast

At this time of year it wouldn't be unexpected to find a new 

 Species of Bird

every day but the closest we got was another pair of

 RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE

in the southern part of the 

Recording Area

and even this was by a 'third party'!

While investigating these we did come across a second, presumed, breeding pair of

 KESTREL's

with only the female being obliging enough to pose for

 and a short

decent numbers of

 SPECKLED WOOD BUTTERFLIES

were buzzing about all over the area but were not alone in this as a

 ROYAL NAVY

MERLIN

helicoper flew backwards and forewards to eleviating some of the current PPE pressure at

Bournemouth Hospital

as reported on the evening new!

"we saw them all out and we saw them all in"

It is surely relevent to mention the skills and efforts of ALL those 

Front Line Workers

who are risking their lives that we might be safe!

CHEERS!

COMMON BUZZARD

Both

 STARLING

 and

LAPWING

are growing in numbers but without a single sign of nesting

which has been the trait here (and surely elsewhere)

over the last couple of breeding seasons.

and at the other end of the

Nest in the Stable

awaits another hapless 

Mammal or Passerine

We are hopeing for better tomorrow while looking for more Readers
