Clouds - One Direction

With the adverse effect of the stiff breeze countered in part
by the now more than accptable temperatures still the
Moths keep trickling in.
First's for the Year
included
 a most obliging
 CLOUDED BORDER
 SMALL CLOUDED BRINDLE
 GREY DAGGER
and
 TRUE LOVER'S KNOT
 The young
 COOT
is still being nurtured by both parents and seems to be doing very, 
 while the turning of the
Reptile Covers
 produced a further c2
 SMOOTH SNAKES
 but in the process we flushed
 either a roosting or nesting
 NIGHTJAR
 with the cover now moved to hopefully a more appropriate position?
 For the second time this week the viewable beat of the
Moors River
 has been alive with the songs of a number of
REED WARBLER
 while additionally a
 LITTLE EGRET
flew along the tree line before landing close by.
 Starting the drive back to the bridleway
ahead we sighted a second family group of
 CANADA GEESE
 and within the 
Solar Panel Compound
yet another
CUCKOO
it has been a very good year for them thus far!
One of the benifits of the fresh breeze was the
Theraputic Effect of the Swaying Birches
and yet another flight by
NHS Airways
Finally from one of our 
Weymouth Correspodants
 the latest veiw across 
Weymouth Bay.
Although not shown the whole of the P and O fleet (7) are now parked there!
Our spies have been out and tell us that this is just the foundation for the new footpath between
The Isle of Portland
(in the far distance)
and Durdle Door?
