Spiderwebs - No Doubt

 We kick off today's post with a couple or 4 clicks from a recent TV news bulletin

as our own salute

to the all to long overlooked

GURKHAs

and shame on Government's past and present!
Lightening up a little, we are still running a couple of traps close to home and while nothing to add to the Year List in recent days a steady trickle of also-rans has been pleasing enough.

The diverse

COMMON MARBLED CARPET

which appear in numerous diverse guises.

CREAM-BORDERED GREEN PEA

as tiny as the name suggests and

other 'second generation'

L-ALBUM WAINSCOT

FLIGHT SERVICE AIRBUSES
in similar livery to European Air Cargos have now joined the
Wing'ed Squadrons of the Skies

while from a misty heath a little more activity than in recent weeks.

STONECHAT

are back in decent numbers with the invasive

FERNs

and 'thousands' of associate Webs also pleasing to the eye in what little sunshine there was.

Not to be upstaged

DARTFORD WARBLER's
(only c2)

were both showy and vocal but none able to outshine the
Find of the Day

had to be the c2 juvenile

SMOOTH SNAKEs

neither more than 6 inches in length

and to pop the proverbial cherry atop the cake a

BLACK and ORANGE SEXTON BEETLE

with ever present parasites.
IT IS SUCH DAYS THAT JUST MAKE YOU WANT MORE!
