Rosy - Don Partridge

"Rain before 7, dry by 11"? Another myth you can scratch from your psyche, didn't even step 'ashore' yesterday so thankfully a few snaps from previous days!

There were a few more First for the Year Moths, which we recovered during a 30 minute weather window late afternoon, but not before giving more than a passing glace over the ever maturing

CANADA GEESE YOUNGSTERS

SCORCHED WING

and in 'cocked tail' pose, but from here on we have to return to the past couple of days.

A real favourite
ALDER MOTH

BRINDLED WHITE-SPOT

ROSY MARBLED

little bigger than a
Garden Pea

and something of a Wildlife surprise as this

FOX MOTH
laid her eggs before our very eyes - nice bonus and all returned to the Wild.
While sat there musing a female

BLACKCAP

was heading towards us at first reluctant to break cover

but as she did so

the

Male

in full voice

also put in an

appearance.
There was little else to the day but as ever when there is a light wind across the Heath the

ASPENS,
now in full leaf, are at their very best rustling in the wind while as far as foliage is concerned the

ALDER BUCKTHORN
has quickly followed suit while, despite the Autumnal spraying of the

FERNs
still they grow readily, but what a

pattern to the fronds the
KIWI's
can be rightly proud of their emblem although not that welcome here!
