Spiderwebs - No Doubt

Another night of sub-double diget temperature saw nothing from the traps other than a 

CORRECTION!

Announcing the 'litter' of Hawthorn Shieldbugs on a previous post,

it turns out we got it wrong and not infact this

 HAWTHORN SHIELDBUG

but this

 BIRCH SHIELDBUG

We welcome the correction from Paul Harris with open arms!

Once again nothing to keep us at either pond so onward to the Heath
where en-route the

 Spider Webs 
were glistening with the dew

and looking rather like Brock the Badger had been having a mid-night feast.
Yet another 'pleasing' early morning

CLOUD FORMATION

However, looking back there was something far less pleasing although not going
to effect my day, but would have to make a telephone call as the

OLD ENGLISH WHITE STEER
had escaped captivity and already shoulder deep in Bracken
and Herdsman called.
We can report now safely back where it belongs!
Otherwise, and not surprisingly, more showy
FUNGI
 only ID'ed as to family group

TRICHOTOMA (Species)
and

ASCOBULUS (Species)
While we were in that area we did take a distant peek at the 

BEE HIVES

which appear to be thriving.
Birds were at an absolute premium

 and had it not been for this

 WHEATEAR

we could have been very close to a 'blank'!
A little relief came with the finding of another clump of more colourful
FUNGI,
which like the others were initially identified by
John Gifford,
but for this 
RUSSULA ATROPURPEA
we did find a vernacular name

PURPLE BRITTLEGILL
There was but a single bit of action within the
Solar Panel Compound
as on padlocking the gate we noticed this

COMMON BUZZARD

take this hapless

WOOD PIGEON

directly before us but at quite some distance,

feeling it was our attempt to get closer that saw it disappear into the trees,

with a few evidential feathers clinging to what might have been the
Plucking Post
had we been a little more stealthy.
Somewhat changed since early morning, the
