Fire Brigade - The Move

With the temperature touching +26C at noon on the first of June, (a poet and we don’t even know it) there were no surprises as the Moths started tumbling in early morning!

LIGHT EMERALD

the rather bizarre

BUFF TIP

MILLER

the delightful

PEACH BLOSSOM

and a final beauty in the flesh

RUBY TIGER

with a larvae from the archive.

has taken up station at a site that has become traditional over every year since records began,

GUIMBAL CABRI CHOPPER
of Elite Helicopters directly overhead - if you live on top of an
International Aiport

COMMON BLUE
but only a single and unfortunately hapless day-time flying Moth a

COMMON HEATH

obviously invited to dinner by this young
DARTFORD WARBLER

ROBIN's EGG
and likely a wide gape waiting to be fed while yet another

SLOE WORM

while all else included this

ORANGE FRINGE SLUG

an absolutely 'cracking'

GREY WAGTAIL
at the Sewerage Works and another equally 'smart'

BLACK PHEASANT
and a couple of doodles with the usual

ROOKs

and

JACKDAW
through the closed window.
