Another reasonably fine day with a rainless
(for us)
FRONT
chugging up the
English Channel
while the only New Moth was a
RUSTIC SHOULDER-KNOT
Little (nothing) to capture our attention at any of the Ponds
we headed directly for the Heath, where again it was quiet but nt without its moments!
Our favourite of the Rare Breeds Cattle
the brown and white
SHETLAND
was waiting for me at the gate as a
COMMON CARDER BEE
was as busy as one.
We make no appology for more
WOODLARK
images as they will all to soon be gone,
so once they grace the viewfinder its
Click, Click, Click
An inordinate number of
BROWN-LIPPED SNAILs
today showing themselves for the first time this year
while close by there was only the second Reptile for 2020 another
SLOW WORM
Even the
EWES
are now in Summer Plumage as this years Lambs will not be cropped until next spring,
but then at the Airport Fence
the easily recognisable song of a
LESSER WHITETHROAT
but in what was considered a strage place.
A contribution from Jim the Medic in Beveley, Yorks but don't know where he got this one from.
Bournemouth International Airport
a little more crowded that Weymoth Bay.
That's when we thought we heard a second Lesser Throat, but adjusting the
Sensory Organs change our mind in favour of
YELLOWHAMMER
A most welcome species here these days as gone are the times
when they bred in what might be considered 'flock' proportions.
Since our residence began in 2013 this is only the 3rd record putting this
smart little songster squarely in catagory of
RARE!
It also brought up the 100th species for 2020 across our Recording Area!
