If You Go Down to the Woods Today

 After adding

THE CLAY
to the Moth Year List

and then finding that The / A

juvenile

LAPWING
had returned to the now scalped Solar Panel Compound and very little else, it was worth scaling the North Face of the Party Gate and trying our luck on the Heath.

GATEKEEPER BUTTERFLY
was first to show but not in any numbers just yet, while the differing areas such as the

BRISTLE BENT

the flowering

HEATHER
and even the invasive

FERNS
made for an eye-catching tapestry until happening upon this juvenile

STONECHAT

already looking adept at hunting skills much to the chagrin of the hapless
GRASSHOPPER.
A number of f.f.y.

MARBLED WHITE BUTTERFLIES
also graced the Heath.

while under the

REPTILE COVERS

with under one cover a

DOUBLE-HEADER

and a total count of 7 in all.
and of course the almost mandatory

BLACK ANT COLLONY

Also on the gentle breeze the wiff of

EVENING PRIMROSE
once grown on the other side of the gate as a
Cash Crop.
Across the Wooded Rides

several dozens each of
(male)

and female
BEAUTIFUL DEMOISELLE

and simalarly
(male)

(and female)
BANDED DEMEOISELLE
while bringing up the rear-guard just a single

BRIMSTONE BUTTERFLY
(more maybe tomorrow)
