Our Day Will Come - Ruby & the Romantics (1963)

 but not before checking the Moth Traps to find New for the Year

a couple of and just a little early

HEART & CLUB

in the wake of a

COMMON FOOTMAN
Across the South-side the

HORSE CHESTNUT's

are just about bowing under the weight of fruits but as in the previous year not a sign of an
ACORN.
At the heart of the main Solar Panel Compound the continuing and most welcome host of common juvenile Birds again captured our imagination along with the finding of this trio of

PINE HAWK-MOTH (top), FOX MOTH (below) and EYED HAWK-MOTH (left).
Part way through our appreciation of nervy juvenile

LINNETs

and far more obliging young

GREENFINCH
before spotting a low flying apperition streeing a course of 090°.

As a forerunner we do see a very occassional one at the Avon Causway just 3 miles away, and slightly more frequently others at Longham Lakes, the same distance but in the opposite direction, but never, despite our hopes, on home turf during our 9 years of monitoring this patch!

We secured no images during this brief transit, more interested in achieving a possative ID, but this blagged photo shows a near perfect similarity of our observation with an archive clip from

Radipole Lake
and

'still' believed to be from
Farlington Marshes?

All else involved more juvenile

MISTLE THRUSH
and

STRARLINGs
both to be gone in the near future,

and as if by way of salute of our good fortune, a fly-past by

H.M. COASTGUARD HELICOPTER
Ruby and her Room Mates certainly had this one right!
