They Call Me Toadstool as being Some Kind of Fun-gi

Another warm night attracted another batch of
First's for the Year Moths
in the shape of

PINE HAWK-MOTH

 one of the 'big boys'

 WILLOW BEAUTY

SCORCHED WING

 with abdomen raised, a usual stance

SNOUT

For no other reason than we have been saying let's get down to the

CARP LAKES

and take a look at the Otter Fence which has been errected for
a full nine months now this was where we commenced today's wander.

FOXGLOVE
first to be noticed this year beneath my favourite

OAK TREE
on the property.

Met by this handsome

GRASSHOPPER
at the gateway to the Heath it was only a few minutes before we stumbled across

yet another pair of

WOODLARK

obviously feeding young but a long way from the others previously
reported some weks ago.

Wether they are 'new arrivals' or 'second brooders'

will never be known

but simply gracing our patch

is a wonderment in itself!

Next up was the first

SMALL HEATH
of 2020
and although seen before this year it is always welcome to see such as

SMALL COPPER BUTTERFLIES

in the process of procreating! From there it was to the Airport perimeter fence where loading and

UNLOADING

a number of 
AIRBUS AIRLINERS
carries on almost continuously, maybe we should have a
Clap Evening
for these fine teams?

No great shakes but it was pleasing to get this close to a

RABBIT

seemingly unaware of our presence as was the same for our first of year

BLACK-TAILED SKIMMER

On the return journey the Solar Panel Compound

seemed to be bursting the boundries with

STARLING

with many, in this state of plumage, as
Eye Catching

as any bird you would wish to see!
Oil on Water
springs to mind.
2 other suprises within were firstly this huge and considered long time dead

PUFFBALL
type Fungi and this young bird which took some deliberation

 having a 'yellow' tinged belly

but surely a juvenile

WHITETHROAT

and we can already hear, pre-publication the
"oh no's,not again"
but this year alone we have fallen head over heals with  the humble

ROOK

this one right outside our door!
