So maybe a Drone later on might fit!
Another day at the office with almost perfect weather conditions
but relatively low returns from the traps!
V-PUG
WHITE-SPECK
were firsts for the year but couldn't resist posting the Hawk

Along with a couple of the Big Boys of today's c6
PRIVATE HAWK-MOTHs
and sticking with the big lads for a moment, for a Micro Moth
BOX-TREE MOTH
is a giant.
By and large the Macro Moths are of a larger nature, while the Micro's are generally small.
The Welcoming Committee was provided today by one of the 2 juvenile
KESREL's
strangely quiet for a change?
Between the Pond and the Heath we also found
GREEN ALCANET
a female, denoted by the white spot
BEAUTIFUL DEMOISELLE
and a nice little clump of
ANGELICA
Some, if not all, of our readers may remember this adult
HOBBY
being posted a coupe of weeks or so ago, well lightning has struck in the same place again.
This time it was a juvenile
HOBBY
perched in the very same tree and even on the same branch.
Not a lot of divercity with the images
as most of the time it was just perched
'bolt upright'
and also looking as big as
its close relation the
PEREGRINE
This was a 'first' for me as far as 'juvenile' Hobby is concerned!
It was shortly after the raptor had flown off that there was
an invassion of
HORSEFLIES
which seemed to be gleaning something
from the roof of the car
just like a vacuum cleaner
Luck visited once again as we entered the
Solar Panel Compound
to find the most aimiable
STEVE
setting up his equipment to film the panels by
DRONE
Only too happy to show this
Seawater Technician
the workings of the gadgetry before
but not wery adept at keeping the darn thing in my viewfinder!

ReplyDeleteHow about...
DRONE..by
Alice In Chains...
(please don't take the lyrics seriously)..
In my eyes you are beautiful
Not just bright, perfect spiritual
I did what I had to do to get higher
Spent myself another, entangled like lovers
Not quite dark, not quite light...etc etc..
Yes, that one right off the Radar would have fitted perfectly. Cheers Oh Wine One!
ReplyDeleteHi Bagsy
ReplyDeleteNot sure it is a juvenile Hobby - firstly it would be very early as they take 10 weeks to even fledge and usually don't lay until mid-May, it looks chunkier and barring on breast should be darker. However can't easily see what it might be! Nearest I could suggest is something like Lanner or falconer's hybrid?
All the best
