Elizium - Fields of the Nephalim

They are Goths as well and worth a listen!

With overnight temperatures having now captured 'double figures' expectations have been high with medium rewards!

THE GOTHIC

reached the exclusivity of the
First For the Year Club

joining another recent addition by way of

FROSTED ORANGE
(just couldn't resist this second showing)
along with the most dainty of

CRANEFLIES

A brief stop at the Main Pond saw the return of the
MUTE SWAN FAMILY

still in tact and featuring as ever the

ALBINO / LEUCISTIC CYGNET
or whatever catagory it may come under?
While again considering them to have abandoned ship a small

SQUADRON

of

MISTLE THRUSH

were found among the Solar Panels,

while at home the

GUINEA FOWL

(maybe better behind bars, continue to thrive) while the

ROSE HIPS

are close to bursting, while it was only a sudden and unexpected 'rush of blood to the brain' that brought about the
La Piece de la Resistance!
Leaving early to flash up the Moth Traps on the Heath we did a full inventory and while the county (Dorset that is) is showing a few specimens across the board we located our very own

WRYNECK

a bizarre member of the Woodpecker family

and our 4th over the last 4 years with the appearances of 2008 and 2009 being a
4 Woodpecker Day, the others being Great Spotted Woodpecker, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker and Green Woodpecker, considered quite an event, while we end with an Archive Shot of one being

processed at the Portland Bird Observatory - bet you remember that event Martin!
