Young Girl - Gary Puckett and the Union Gap

 We were most pleased to meet a Young Lady yesterday, albeit by proxy, but more correctly a girl named Saskia. It was after Victualling Ship that I encountered her Auntie at the checkout who told me she is mad about wildlife, but more particularly Ants! What a coincidence that just the day before we had uncovered the first such nest of the season with these tiny beauties already carrying eggs which we videoed. We dedicate this clip to Saskia, a charming name that we have never come across before, but still pride ourself in being able to sing a recognisable song containing any girls name in the land!

RED ANTS
If anyone would like to pick up the gauntlet in that particular matter simply attach the name via the 'Comments' box at the foot of the page and it's 'Game On'!

Otherwise, there was again a decent enough catch at the Moth Traps starting with a first for the year

To Be Confirmed
among a total haul of 59 Macros x 11 species from the Heath while from the home traps

from top clockwise
Hebrew Character, a second mostly obscured,Yellow Horned, which given the wind direction may well have been displaced from the Heath, and a Common Quaker along with a tiny

LARVAE
Before leaving home we failed once again to capture the more acrobatic of the

ROOKs

coping with the 'hanging' bird feeders

but feel it only a matter of time before videoing?
Not so much bother with the now far more confident local

pair of

KESTRELs

as they get nearer to

procreation.
Back on the Heath we decided to turn those Reptile Covers not investigated on the previous day

only to find a second

COMMON SHREW

of the year under a different cover altogether some distance away from the first.
Always worth a second look despite also having visited the
Rare Breed Goats Compound
only yesterday, but to be bless in the first instance by a very smart

but somewhat mobile

GREY WAGTAIL

while close by a close cousin

PIED WAGTAIL

was being dwarfed

by one of the

Rare Breed Goats
Our return home mid-afternoon met with the welcome sight of

TREE PLANTING

right outside of the door

WILLOWs
of sorts?

and as if Head Nodding in Approval as

Mini Narsisis
have also broken surface.

We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower.
a flower?
