Puts You in Mind of Tchaikovsky

 Again another day for springing out of the hammock, before the upper limb of the Sun had reached the horizon, in an attempt to get to the Moth Traps before the rain did!

First out of the Trap and in immediate succession a couple of

RIBAND WAVEs
looking somewhat different with the one above having the centre-bar absent and vice versa below!
Like the above but far more dramatic another f.f.y.

ELEPHANT HAWK-MOTH

Ditto

TREBLE BROWN-SPOT
and finally c2

FESTOON

both reluctant to un-cock their tails.
There was some haste to all of that, not just due to the weather, but as a result of a bit of useful     'insider information' (bit of a repete here)

led to the first view of c2of the Mute Swan Cygnets

"Video Killed the Radio Star"

and as if by way of punctuation

of the c3

our second ever record of

all the family

"we can't rewind we've gone to far"

GRASS SNAKE
at the same location,

but there was a price to pay

a decent soaking half way up to the gunwhals for our efforts.
As if that were not enough aquatics for one morning up at the Gravel Pit the now semi-resident 2x pairs of

TUFTED DUCK

remain in situ but then joined by one of the now sporadic adult

LITTLE GREBEs

female

male, we wish they would do the buisness!
Again, enough is sufficient but not on the day as
I caught a fleeting glimps out of the corner of my eye,

the second adult

LITTLE GREBE

I turned to look but it was gone,
I cannot put my finger on it now.

The child has grown,

the dream has gone.

For I have become

Comfortably Numb

The Humbug has Reappeared!!

AND YES IT RAINED AGAIN - IN BUCKETs

Anyone fancy having a crack at the  

Guitar Break? Ok, we'll leave it to Pink!
