Wild Weekend - The Rebels (1963) - Part I

It seems to have been a while since the start of the weekend but we have our act together now and can bring you the full story in 3 Parts. Having savoured the Moths and the Trap Experiment we went on to aimless wandreing and with

DAVE

getting down to business right away with ears to the ground

and eyes to the sky we were
not about to miss much!

First Up

something of a mini masterclasswith

juvenile and still nest bound

CARRION CROWs

(all c3)
as I for one had no idea that thier gapes were

Red and White elsewhere.

A moment of

Moth Trap Husbandry
readying the traps for the night to come.

A most welcome Blue Sky with just a trace of Cirus Cloud making it almost qualifying as
Mackerel

and a new flush of

DANDILIONs
providing some contrast.

It would have been impossible to pass the Reptile covers by

but without

Snake or Lizard we did uncover a lone
WOOD MOUSE.

Plant Life has now started to Pedominale with

STONECROP

SHEEP SORREL

in large patches and at long last

signs of green on the

ASPENs
c2 additions to the Recording Area at the same time but at such a distance only just seen by myself

RED KITE
and seperated by what is believd to be a cultivar

GRANNY'S BONNET

COMMON SWIFT
(both additions highlighted by borrowed images)
To bring this instalment to an end there were also

new growth

OAK APPLEs

a tribe of very active
RED ANTS
and finally some showing of

BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL
