Vintage Stuff

 In the absence of anything new we will kick off with a couple that have become regular in recent days across the Heath

HEATH RUSTIC

along with

HEDGE RUSTIC

both pretty much confined to the Heath around here.
Afterwards, the desire to turn the Reptile Covers again kicked in and finding a

SMOOTH SNAKE
had left its overcoat behind while

ANTS

continue to procreate in their hundreds!
On our way back from the Heath we encountered this

Beautiful and Vintage

LADY
before arrival at the Solar Panel Compound to find

2 or 3 dozen

WHEATEAR
still feeding up prior to the upcoming
Channel Crossing
and accompanied by a

very much still juvenile

ROBIN

with a similarly plumaged juvenile

STONECHAT
we thought we had seen the last of these youngsters!
Back to base and approaching home we found this

GREY SQUIRELL
performing right before our eyes while at the Chicken Coop the opportunist

JACKDAW

and beautifully plumaged young

ROOKs

lay in wait.
