MUSLIN MOTH
accompanied by

a lone

DEVIL'S COACH-HORSE BEETLE

along with the first of what will likely be many hundreds of

CADDISFLIES

Further north the

Broom is now in Bloom

ROE DEER
took to the high ground at the Irrigation Pond.

while a second visit to the watercourses later in the day produced this pair of

GADWALL

an eye-catching
MOORHEN
and the still lone

COOT
Surely it can only get better??
