Strange Phenomena - Kate Bush

A little late on parade with the

 NEW MOON
as taken on the 23rd - 2 days late, but who's counting?

Soon it will be the phase of the moon, when people tune in.
Every girl knows about the punctual blues,
but who's to know the power behind our moves?

You hear your sister calling for you,
but you don't know where from.
You know there's something wrong
but you don't want to believe in a premonition.

 TAWNY BARRED-ANGLE

 MAGPIE

 SMALL DOTTED BUFF

 BROAD-BORDERED YELLOW UNDERWING

We raise our hats to the strange phenomena.
Soul-birds of a feather flock together.
We raise our hats to the hand a-moulding us.
Sure 'nuff, he has the answer
He has the answer
"Om mani padme um”!

Arriving at the Heath the

 BRITISH WHITE STEER

formed the welcoming committee

 

 while browsing the Apple Tree.

This is one of the oldest breeds of cattle in 

Great Britain

hence its prescence here as part of the 'rare breeds' project.
