Love is in the Air - John Paul Young

 It is said that we are all never more than a few yards from one, so really no surprise when we happened upon yet another

BROWN RAT

en-route for the Heath where it was no surprise either to find the
take was low from the Moth Traps in view of the fall in overnight temperature!
Best we could muster were, once again,

half a dozen

CLOUDED DRAB

a lone

YELLOW HORNED
along with an equally singular

ICHNEUMON WASP
On the remiss side the little beauties that are

NUTHATCH

have been singing their hearts out and tapping away at nest holes

singing

without even a mention across these pages,

so useful to have SENILITY on your side!
Rather than increasing, Bird numbers have been declining with only this single male

STONECHAT
on show over the past week or more which is the same for the far more gragarious

STARLING

which may have been overlooked

rather than absent, but what a beauty!

first of all

this

BROWN HARE

gamboling around the margins of a recently sewn field before

playing our part in
Grey Squirrel Family Planning.
Before leaving the area we came across the first

CELANDINES

of the year before witnessing the

Mass Migration

across the

Plains of Parley

of c5 ROE DEER
while it looks like the ornimental

GUINEAFOWL
may also be considering procreation?
