Candles in the Wind - Elton John

 While the Moths continue tumbling in we are now on something of a catch-up with a small selection of Firsts for the Year gracing the traps such as

OAK-TREE PUG

a most obliging

CLOUDED BORDER

YELLOW BELLE

SHARP-ANGLED PEACOCK

COXCOMB PROMINENT
while additionally there was one of the tiny

Plume Moths
which come under the heading of Micro Moths which we shy away from like the plague. Mainly because the vast majority only have Latin names while we can't even speak Engrish Plopery!
Just about all of interest down south was found

"Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree"
(Glenn Miller)

with CANDLES akimbo

while across the

 

Main Solar Panel Compound

there was little more than these

hunting

MISTLE THRUSH
very likely feeding young while through the barrage of trees and bushes that are now best part obscuring the Moors River we managed to 'click' almost all of this prowling

FOX
and ending the day with yet another visit to our beat of the

River Stour

and successfully adding

REED WARBLER
to the Year List.
