Who Wants to Be a Millionaire - Frank Sinatra

 While we were never counting our chickens before they hatched it was certainly before the fried eggs hit the plate this morning that we found ourselves in

MILLIONAIRE'S ROW

but were watching the 'Hit Counter' at the appropriate time around 05:30 to see the fruits of our labours and the support of our Most Valued Readership join as one in that Magic Moment, we can only thank you all whole heartedly once again for the unswerving support - go on tell yer Pals!

A somewhat gloomy but adiquately warm day and night which did at the very least coax in a few     First for the Year Moths into the Traps with

PURPLE BAR
made for a fine start

followed by the dainty
FOXGLOVE PUG

the cream of the day's crop
SCARCE MERVEILLE du JOUR

and a rear guard

SHOULDER-STRIPED WAINSCOT

In the early grey heading north this
WOOD PIGEON

was already hard at work best building while at the
Gravel Pit

a somewhat unexpected

pair of

GADWALL

which will be even more welcome if they turn out to be

the 'first' breeders of the species here!
In some of the out-buildings our first chance of capturing

these c2

SWALLOW'S NEST'S
and behind a bank of ever increasing green foliage the only example of

PINK HAWTHORN

so far this year.

Continuing the theme most of the garden shrubs are looking at their best wit
POM-POM BUSH
being all we know this beauty by while the

DOG ROSEs

are blooming

in their usual

Pink and White

while at Sunset the

WOOD PIGEONs

still continued their frolickings!
