In the Plain - Savage Rose

 Not much colour associated with the latest clutch of New Arrival Moths, but that should change in days to come!

SMALL FAN-FOOTED WAVE
PLAIN WAVE
(as the name suggests)
an earlyish
ROUND-WINGED MUSLIN
and as we see so few of them another crack at
GRASS WAVE
all accompanied by a
SEXTON BEETLE
unusually showing off the underwings.
At the Main Pond
SWALLOWs
have taken to the overhead cable as preening posts.
Qualifying as 'Find of the Day'
was an influx of
18+
juvenile
LAPWING
and state 'influx' as during our daily vistits here, in hope of not only breeding
Lapwing but Woodlark, Skylark and who knows maybe Red-legged Partridge one day, we have observed no signs of any nesting at all.
However, the rapidly growing juvenile
CARION CROWs
(don't let the Blue Sky fool you)
are still feeding within, seemingly forgiving of the 'In Hand' experience, as are
MISTLE THRUSHs
not surprisingly with
EARTHWORMs
the size of Anaconda Python's fattening up these juveniles by the day!
