Ladybird - Ladybird Nursery Rhyme

 It's an ill wind (that blows Nobody any Good) Just a couple of days refurb on the Farm House??

At least they got the Roof on before the Rain set in! 

NO HELICOPER LANDING's PLEASE!

We did eventually get to the traps, but not without getting a little damp, where within were found no more than

16-SPOT CREAM LADYBIRD

MALLOW

when half way through we found that some of the neighbours

CHAROLAIS
had escaped? but a good thing we didn't resort to a knee-jerk reaction and phone the farmer

as on closer inspection they were seen to be the
OLD ENGLISH WHITE's
on the adjoining Heath - Pheeeeww! and continuing where we left off

BLACK RUSTIC

LARGE YELLOW UNDERWING
with something we thought we had seen the last of for the year a

WASP
With little (or maybe that should be 'nothing' to add) we turned our attentions to
O.B.E's.

(Other Blokes Efforts)

From Bomber in Weymouth these spectacular
GOOSE BARNACLEs

found on Abbotsbury Beach during the week, and from his close neighbour John a second

CRIMSON SPECKLED
(while we still await our first)

and with the brain still faultering we remember not who or from where we gleaned these

extraordinary shots of a

GANNET

on a house roof, surely it had to be
PORTLAND?
Here's hoping we get back as close to NORMAL as we can by tomorrow??
