Danger Zone - Stone the Crows

 At dawn there was little, or no, need to venture far in persuit of Avian Action as it was all around us! Mostly of the Corvid kind to start with (Crows that is) all indicating just how successful the breeding season has been this year

ROOKs

mostly

but a seperate

character

in each and

every one

before a young

JACKDAW

put in an all to short appearance.
We eventually pulled ourself away and reached the
Moth Traps
whare again we got a result starting with a

somewhat ragged

EYED HAWK-MOTH
winning its Equity Card while followed by additions of the Beauty that is

BLOTCHED EMERALD

and a Beast of an Insect that is the

GOAT MOTH
maybe unusually taken at light.
There was little more on show in the field but on the way back we noted how well the

SPUDS
are doing with finally a lone

SWALLOW

performing a 'high wire' act while continuously 'gaping' which may go down as
multi-skilling?
Back at the homestead seemed like we had quite overlooed this

BURYING BEETLE
covered in paracites.
