The carpet could never be pulled completely from under the
Black Man's Blues
but there are certainly a bunch of White Lads and other persuassions who got extremely close!
Like your 'favourite film' or your 'favourite bird' it is an impossibility
to decide on a firm 'White Blues' but this is as close as it gets for me!
Go on Alvin - Ex Vocalist and Axeman with Ten Years After!
Warning, have a Kleenx handy, knowing what was coming I had the
Ballast Pump already Flashed Up! Especially the 2 Guitar Breaks!!
The BLUE refers to the
unbroken azure of the
final day of Summer
and while there was precious little to shout about from the
Moth Traps
we do have a few "Pretties For You - Alice Cooper.
LIGHT EMERALD
both
LESSER (left) and SWALLOW PROMINENT
along with the diminutive
BRIMSTONE MOTH
and after just 20 seconds of uttering those immortal words
"we don't get to see any baby Wood Pigeons (squabs)"
one pokes its head out of the nest in the
Holm Oak Tree right nextdoor to Slight Return II.
Good News
on the first sighting from the
Irrigation Pond
with what look like c2 new arrival
LITTLE GREBEs
where there has been an absence for a number of weeks now!
Additionally the
MUTE SWAN
remains in residence.
Half way around the Solar Panel Compound fence we found this 'strange sight' of
juvenile
PIED WAGTAILs
cosying up close and seemingly comfortable with a
KESTREL
there was also the odd similarly aged
GREENFINCH
as well,
so was it just the Innocence of youth or just darn right Bravado?
Additionally, there was something of a 'mixed bag'
Across the Heath
with more Insects, Fungi and Other but in no particular order.
Still one or two
GATE KEEPER BUTTERFLIES
on the wing,
and always a boon when falling in with a
LEOPARD SLUG
EARTHBALL
along with a 'first for the year'
GRASS SNAKE
and a few paces away a
COMMON LIZARD
FLY AGARIC
about the only Fungi self identified, and 'maybe'
EARTHBALL
falls into that catagory as well?
A not before discovered
BADGER SETT
a Mammal that we are now seeing each and every evening.
Add to that a
SMALL COPPER
along with yet another
WHEATEAR,
we are doing well this year,
we drifted back home
well satisfied.
