Another Day in Paradise - Phil Collins

One of those days seemingly running around chasing 
my own tail, but standing back at the end of it some Birds were seen
and there was a good deal done hopefully to improve the Moth catching and environment.
On that front the catch was particularly low but the was a 
Trick to the Tale
as what might be considered to be a slightly early
Horse Chestnut
fell to the new 
Light Emitting Diode's
Furthering that, my Electrical Friend Geoff arrived with the
completed new fit 
(or as Gary Numan once asked - Are Friends Electric?)
which took up most of the rest of the day but not before a bit of 
BIRDING
 Common fare and all from the Heath where the border fence with 
Bournemouth International Airport
is always the most productive spot the following were found, but very few aircraft!!!!

BLACKBIRD
 the first flush of
PRIMROSES
the pair of 
 RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE
 unusually scampering for cover
 Followed by the unequivical 
Bird of the Day 
and our 78th species for the Recording Area and the first true migrant a single
 WHEATEAR
Don't you agree that a strand of barbed wire adds a certain something to the image?
 male
and female
STONECHAT
were on hand as were resident
 STOCK DOVE
 Another welcome prile of Fungi such as 
TURKEY FEATHER
 and
Unknown
 with our wanderings ending with the acquaintance of another 2 ladies
 
 from the 
Eddie Stobart Stable
