All in a Mouses Night - Genesis

 With the weather still nowhere near SUMMER it has turned a little for the better which has been reflected at the Moth Traps. Decent additions to the Year List

have included

RED-NECKED FOOTMAN

BLUE-BORDERED CARPET

CLAY

BUFF ARCHES

and as the name suggests the

DELICATE
Elsewhere, and at this man-made spinney known as

The Island
we once again found, under the only cover therein, the only

COMMON LIZARDs

among the

THISTLES

which is the only site here known to

support such a creature.

A vocal but all to distant

WREN

added to the visit as did the first juvenile

COMMON BUZZARD

we have noted this year but under the same circumstances.

On the Heath we found this lot still breeding like

RABBITs

and in part predictably

SMOOTH SNAKE

along with masses of

ANTS

with thier

EGGS
but on this occassion not one

WOOD MOUSE

but

c2

WOOD MICE

under successive covers which is a record for here and with the

MULLEIN
now well above ground level it should only be a matter of days before we see the
Yellow Spikes of Flower - feel we are getting a little behind with this?
