YELLOW - Coldplay

 Another day, another drive down the South Side where again the Finch flock had disapeared with

STARLING
now predominating but then, in quick succession, 2 x First's for the Year!

Lord's-and-Ladies, Wild Arum, Cuckoo Pint, Parson-in-the-Pulpit'
call them what you will, with heads above the parapit and now awaiting the 'Tongue' to appear. 

Far, far better with no disrespect for the above, what sounded like the gentle rasping of a

YELLOWHAMMER
found surveying the Stubble Field

and what qualifies as a Real Rarity here stayed only for a 'blink of the eye'!
The older members of the community remember days, particularly on the Common, when you had to fight your way through them - gone are such days!

In sunshine and shadow

the ancient (Georgian) wall and flowers painted an interesting picture, but time to head north and again on the outside of the Solar Panel Compound

the lone

but equally irresistable

RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE,

still in company with it's male Pheasant pal,

was taking its morning stroll

while within more

HERRING GULL
activity, mightily outnumbered by

REDWING

commuting from the panels

to feeding on the ground.

Best we make the most of this as maybe the last we see of them

until the Autumn and on exiting the

finest show of

SALLOW BLOSSOM
we have seen this year, if that doesn't attract the Moths nothing will!
