Cherry Red - Groundhogs (again)

We would like to be able to attribute our 'No Show' yesterday to a Mechanical or Electrical fault but the only fault was yet another Serious Senior Moment! Certain we had glued the page in place it wasn't until late afternoon that the reality was discovered! In addition the Reader Hits fell to their lowest in a number of years, which might be a prompt for considering Calling it a Day???? 

 The weather thus far hasn't exactly been what we had hope for at the start of Summer, but not prohibitive, but has started a slow trickle of some of our Favourites from the Moth Traps starting yesterday with

the beautifully markd and perfectly camoflauged

SCARCE MERVILLE du JOUR
followed by close cousins both

RIVULET

SMALL RIVULET

LARGE YELLOW UNDERWING

showing that underwing
and finaly, for today at least,

MOTTLED BEAUTY

followed by something of a downward spiral but finding

BIRD CHERRY

an opportunist

BLACKBIRD
at the second trap

and soon after

HEDGE WOUNDWORT
(we thank John for his help)

with a rather poor turnout across the rest of the site with a first

RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE

followed by a second

at a distance but brought underfoot by the trusty zoom,

which just left it up to the

Blue-eyed Boys

JACKDAWs

to bring the all to short day to and end!
Under such circumstances we like to think that
IT CAN ONLY GET BETTER - HERE'S HOPING!
