Gold - Duran Duran

Despite a light

Ground Frost
some Moths were in evidence but nothing to get excited about with a couple each of

HEBREWs and QUAKERs
along with a single Micro

which we really should not enter into - no idea!

Our daily wander down to the banks of the still swollen
River Stour

in search of the elusive Cetti's Warbler,

without success, did throw up a new plant for the year

GREEN ALKANET
a member of the Forget-Me- Not family along with the first 'vocal'

CHIFFCHAFF
of the year

which across the whole day turned into a minor blizzard and with many dozens of

HERRING GULLs

flying inland with these 2 investigating the possibilities at the
Main Pond

and after an encounter with a maintenace man carrying a
Decorated Gothic Mirrored Window

among another crowd of
BLACK-HEADED GULLs
across the southern paddocks this individual still showing some

Juvenile Plumage
(we just love to see any species of Gull in this state)
Up north it was the turn of the delightful

GOLDFINCH

to take over from where the

Chiffchaffs

left off, many dozens!

You'd likely think you had visited the wrong Site were there no mention of the

RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE
which was found over a mile away from yesterday's sighting and even though they can, and do, fly they always seem reluctant to do so.
All within the Solar Panal Compound was this rather young looking

and totally static

RABBIT
as the wander ended in a small blaze of colour by kind permission of this

PEACOCK BUTTERFLY
which may well have hibernated overwinter in the nearby stables.
