Summer in the city where the air is 'chill' (sic)
A baby being born to the overkill
Who cares what people say
We walk down love's motorway
A baby being born to the overkill
Who cares what people say
We walk down love's motorway
Ambition and love wearing boxing gloves
And singing hearts and flowers
And singing hearts and flowers
One word of the lyric
altered to sum up the overnight temperature which was just a degree or 2 short
of single figures. The day followed in a subdued fashion while at the Moth
Traps catches remained rather low with the ‘prettiest' of the few shown below!
BORDERED BEAUTY
ORANGE SWIFT
BLOOD-VEIN
WHITE-POINT
an Autumnal and Grand looking bunch and if you believe in
Lightning Striking the Same Place Twice join a new convert.
As with the 26th August post and the unidentifiable
Autumnal / November Moth,
miles away yet from their given flight period as the name suggests, we have caught another!
We use the word 'another' with some confidence as the first was released in the garden while this
was caught some 2 miles away - something strang is happening!
Somewhere in my heart
There is a star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you've got to be is true
There is a star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you've got to be is true
One of, if not ‘the’,
finest pop/new wave song ever penned it was a credit,
once again to the Jocks, to
bring us such a sound!
Otherwise we were rather scratching around on the penultimate day of
Summer
and one which, on reflection, we did rather well despite the occassional gripe!
COAL TIT
in the garden again before sallying forth and just to plump things out a bit
we will add acouple of videos from the archive to keep up the interest - hopefully!
AVOCET
about as likely to be seen here as me getting the drinks in.
A prospective first, if it sticks around,
for the new season
CORMORANT
on the Gravel Pit and good numbers of foraging
LONG-TAILED TIT
with the odd
GOLDCREST
among them.
Even less likely here and again from the archive
CRESTED TIT
Rothimurchus Forest, Scotland
during a short break up there with Dave Foot.
The only bird I managed to see before he did!
and finally, one that was here
GREATER SCAUP
Gravel Pit - May 2018
After something of a shortish day it was
back to base for a brioche
and smoked salmon sandwich
and a steaming mug of Douwe Egbert's finest.
