Friday on my Mind - The Easybeats

 After a night of seemingly incessant hooting from the local

TAWNY OWL
the day broke, as has become the way of things, with a raptuous Dawn Chorus but worryingly still not a peep from a Cetti's Warbler. Via the 2 home-bound traps came another brace of First for the Year

COMMON WAVE
and

NUTMEG
but very little save the

ROWAN

bursting into Leaf with some traces of Blooms.
Greeted at the Traps in the SPC by an

Orange-lipped Slug
pearched on the collar within we recover 2 further addition to the year list via

DINGY MOCHA

along with

SCARCE PROMINENT
and next finding

2 male

along with a single female

had returned to the
Gravel Pit

With both adult

KESTRELs

now being seen transiting from the nest site to the grasslands of

BOURNEMOUTH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
and seen in hover we paid a visit to the nest site in the nearby stables

to find 2 well grown

juveniles,
while later up north our excitement was limited to our

First of the Year

LESSER WHITETHROAT

while our exit from the Solar Panel Compound

coincided with the arrival of the

Tugwell Spraying Team
we'll have to bite our lip on this one!!!!
