Ladybird, Ladybird Fly Away Home

Just to kick off, we are reliably informed that yesterday's Red Chopper is a Robinson's R44.    Many Thanks John. 

The light

FROSTs
keep on comeing with a backup of bright sunshine while from above

the distinctive 'calls' of what sounded like a decent number of

MEDITERRANEAN GULLs
among the even higher number of Herring's heading inland.
First stop was to be the newly sited Moth Trap which we have hauled up north and found at least to have been bloodied by no more than a

COMMON QUAKER
but a Moth is a Moth and considered at least a start with back up provided by a singing

STONECHAT

who's efforts seemed to be having the desired effect.
Across the Solar Panals and between another

eye-catching

but unusually just solo

STARLING

and equally attractive male

CHAFFINCH
more signs of fresh excavations at the

BADGER SETT
will warrant a dusk visit some day soon.
More callings from above as this

COMMON BUZZARD
circled in anticipation of breakfast or a partner and what we thought might be the last new arrivals of the day, as the first small flock of

SHEEP
were noted in a neibouring compound but we hadn't accounted for this

HARLEQUIN LADYBIRD

dropping from the sky-light onto the laptop.
Still no signs of a Migrant Bird, unlike those being reported from around the county, but again "patience is a virtue, possese it if you can.
Often found in Women but never found in Man"!
