Bird of Prey - Uriah Heep

 With the Barrel’s Bottom, in the shape of the Moth Trap’s, having been well and truly Scraped to the tune of no more than another single

MUSLIN MOTH

at home and upside down for a change, there was a second in the Heath Traps along with a single

BRINDLED PUG
and that was it! However, in between the 2 stops a break in the journey to welcome

The First

SYGNET

followed by a rather coy

second, blink and you'll miss it

then a batallion of

c7 Cygnets

and an either addled or not yet hatched egg. The first egg was laid on 12/04/inst with hatching following 43 days later on 24/05/2021.
With the traps completed it was considered a decent idea to stick close to home and see what else might be found in the world of procreation

with another small brood of

c5 CANADA GEESE

close by on the same pond.
With an almost total abandonment of

HOUSE SPARROWs
this year

we may well have found one of the reasons

as Dad looked on rather helplessly with this pair of

BLUE TIT

having nicked the

Ancestral Home.

However, no such problems from high above as the now regular

KESTRELs

are feeding young in the nest box initially intended for
OWLS

with one species misfortune

becoming anothers

Male Bird Hunting over the Airfield

with favoured prey still seeming to be the

inexhaustable supply of

female

SHORT-TAILED VOLE
which also live under the caravan.

back seemingly without the groceries?
