As my moaning Aberdonian Rig Mates might say!
Translation:-
Life is hard work. It's a sore fight
and you only get half of what
you want.
Given the recent weather pattern that's just about the saying we need to highlight the situation as
Wild Things
remain reluctant to show
and difficult to find, so we had to put in an extra shift yesterday!
Now with 2 Moths Traps running we easily doubled our catch with both Moths released immediately after identification!
Just about the only Bird anywhere close to the homestead was this
fairly obliging
HERRING GULL
then without delay we set-sail for more northerly climbs.
Nothing at the Irrigation Pond was acceptable compared with what was found at the
Gravel Pit
where the
LITTLE GREBE
nest was found ragged and abandoned, had the Heron done its worst
or was it again down to the weather?
Both Grebe's looked very much as if in mourning
with both 'close-ups' and
video clip
painting a dismal picture!
No good lamenting over that, it's the
Law of the Wild
so ever onward.
c2
WHEATEAR
were found in
quick succession on the Heath, with a 'close cousin'
STONECHAT
which hasn't been recorded here now fo 8 days??
seperating the 2.
2nd
WHEATEAR
Then There Were c6
AIRBUS's that is and we have been awaiting the arrival of the
PUFF BALLs
in the
Solar Panel Compound
you can set yer watch by them!
BLACK-HEADED GULL's
also remain there with a couple of adults now creeping in and
"oh YES we'll have some of that"
as even more absentees
are welcomed back.
In this instance it has been weeks
but nonetheless it's still the c3 of them!
Another 'new' Eddie Stobart to the collection,
we ain't seen Ceri Charlie here before.
Here's hopeing we can keep up the momentum?
