The Rockin' Berries

 Little point in reporting 'nothing' from the Moth Traps after recovering a trio such as

ANOMALUS

along with

NEGLECTED RUSTIC

and a 'second generation'

BRUSSELS LACE,

which is by no means as large as the upper image portrays,
all most welcome but none to add to the Year List.
However, the success did continue, but only after a 3 day search, finding the 'vocal'

LITTLE OWL

back at the traditional nest site in the cracked
Ash Tree

where they were first found 'breeding' 10 years ago, here's hoping for next year!
In the same area was also found a decent growth of

ORANGE BALSAM
the food plant of the still fairly scarce across the board

BALSAM CARPET MOTH
of which a number have been caught this year on both the Farm and the Heath.
Heading for the last mentioned a cargo carrier

AIRBUS
took off to the east before scribing an arc towards the west with our guess on the destination being

NEW YORK CITY
Little from the Heath traps either with the best and most welcome being

a 'pair' of

DARK BUSH CRICKETs
the inundation being provided by

CRANEFIES or DADDY-LONG-LEGS
and a

COMMON BUZZARD
in a lofty tree trying to keep out of Canon shot.
With 'fruits' seemingly at a premium this Autumn

it was against the trend to see the

PRIVET
bowing under the weight of fruit before heading off to hopefully find something aquatic.
Not ever the Little Grebes at the Gravel Pit but beyond at the Irrigation Pond a 'pair' of

MALLARD
(there have only been singletons thus far) a loan female

TUFTED DUCK

an unaccompanied female
MALLARD

and a second glimps at the
TUFTY.
