Because They're Young - Duane Eddie

 Back to what might be considered 'normal' after the Wonders of Wales and although a

dismal looking start to the day we
  immediately found a decent haul from the Moth Traps, all Firsts for the Year.

Another of the bulky Hawks

PINE HAWK-MOTH

OAK HOOK-TIP

the particularly smart seen in the flesh

RED-GREEN CARPET
and only our 'second' ever since trapping began here in 2013

WATER CARPET
Close to home a second pod of c4, chicks but only c2 obliging

MOORHEN
before discovering another arrival of

CANADA GEESE

on the main pond.
Precisly nothing to hold our attention at either of the 2 northerly watercourses but along our beat of the Moors River a juvenile

HERRING GULL
and at last a showing of

BLOSSOM

on the
APPLE TREE

There were also at least c4

MISTLE THRUSHs

gorging themselves doubtless in an effort to sustain

recently hatched chicks.
Across the Airport there was nothing more than a pair of nesting

LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLs
and a poor effort in clicking the first

TUI Passenger Carrier with hopes of improving on the image latter and followed by

a brace of
Lovely Ladies

from the Stobart Fleet which we will make the most of as they will surely soon be gone.
A splendid end to the day at Lighting up Time as this presumed male

RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE
was in fine voice bathed in the beams of the setting Sun.
It wasn't Wales but at least a Post!
