A Bird in the Hand is worth Two in a Bush

 Apart from the beautiful and early morning

ROSINE SKY,
shrouded by fine mist, there was also another likely Good Omen lurking in the wings! Turn your back for just a moment and they will take advantage as tending the home bassed Moth Traps we inadvertently left the door open! Taking full advantage it was found that the Wildlife was coming to us rather than the reverse as this

ROBIN

was likely sussing the prospects of a

Free Meal

and did leave a 'small deposit' on the laptop keyboard just in case!

Unfortunately, this didn't lead to anything out of the ordinary but a sad day if there was nothing to report. From the traps nothing new but another show from

both

YELLOW HORNED
and

RED CHESTNUT
and on leaving the first Solar Panel Compound finding the newly arrived

CATTLE

grazing and showing just a little better than previously

with attendant calf, so small it could hardly be seen, let alone 'clicked'

but after a short intermission to snap the

BLUEBELLs

we had another go at it.

This has been the best so far we have been able to capture of a
new Yellow-Finned Passenger Carrier (not to be confussed with Yellow-Finned Tuna) out of Bournemouth International but we are working on it while across the Ponds a sorry state of affairs with no more than a single male

TUFFTED DUCK
while at the party gate with the Heath we discovered that likely last year's

CARRION CROW's
are once again showing interest in the tradition nest site.

Regular Readers may remember our saving of this juvenile from that same nest last year??
and the final question being "have they

MUTE SWANs
finally got down to the process of incubating"?? They have been doing so at the
Abbotsbury Swanery for some days now!
