The Young Ones - Cliff Richard

Another 'high teens' return on the overnight temperature was sure to attract more activity which came in the shape of

ELEPHANT HAWK-MOTH

RIBAND WAVE

MIDDLE-BARRED MINOR
with 2 aspects of

LYCHNIS

all Firsts for the Year
along with a

moribund

BEE
of sorts and a

MILLIPEDE
it doesn't get much more exciting than that?
Otherwise, the focus was on 'YOUNGSTERS' which in the first instance were found along the
Sewerage Works Fence

in the guise of
(male)

BULLFINCH

including at least c3

JUVENILEs

with the FEMALE bringing up the rearguard.
After finding

COMMON VETCH
along with a clump of

WOOD SPURGE
the

COASTGUARD RESCUE HELICOPTER

made a fly-past

seemingly encouraging this female

GOLDCREST

in to view - long time no see, and not to be upstaged the

ROYAL NAVY
fielded one of its own

MERLIN HELICOPTORs
and an opinion only that the Best came at the Final Knockings......

WOODLARK
carrying a bill full of groceries is surely enough to prove that the species

has bred yet again on our Patch this year!
