Lord of the Ring'ed

First out of the traps was another minor goody which, according to the literature

shares the same credentials as

Scarce Prominent

as being scarce and resident in small numbers across the south east corner of Dorset

We have captured it before but good to know it still exists on our patch

 RINGED CARPET

 SALLOW KITTEN

and don't remember ever having seen

GORSE SHIELDBUG
before, a smart little fella, thanks John

Another brood of

MALLARD

this time at the main pond
and suddenly in just a single day

 RABBIT's
are everywhere

 Apart from the main ponds this little patch on the border with the Airport
is about the only 'wet patch' left across the Recording Area where we found this lone

LAPWING 
and is now likely to be the ONLY place where we will record
Little Ringed Plover????

GREAT SPOTTED WOODPECKER

are well into

their

Breeding Rituals
as 
Adrian Tugwell

arrived with his crew to spray the Nettles around the 
Solar Panels

A man who I know would agree that our respect for one another has grown enormously in the

caused a catastophy but since then, true to his word, he has called me to be sure the coast is clear of nesting birds before any of the evolutions!
