Sensibility v Adiction

 Having never sampled the former and the 'glass' already showing zero there were only 2 choices, stick with Murphy v Selby or Flash up the Traps, it was the latter. No prizes for guessing the outcome but the result amounted to 3 Moths of 3 Species which we are happy to highlight here!

as it may well have been the 'partner that had been predated by this
SPARROWHAWK

Continuing, there was not a sign of life on the Irrigation Pond but quite the opposite on the Gravel Pit where all c7 Goslings continue to thrive and the short series of peeping from a Wader revealed the presence of a 'first for the year'

STONECHAT

along with the build up of

very vocal

COMMON WHITETHROAT

which effectively

brought yet anothe decent wander to an end at

Lighting Up Time!
