S'cus Me While I Kiss the Sky - Purple Haze.

After the absence of any 'New Comers' from the 2 traps at home it was a bee-line to the first of the Solar Panel Compounds. At the gateway there could be heard the familiar 'chacking' of an unseen

RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE
  sufficient evidence to prove, for now at least, they continue to dwell within and now to get lucky with the traps, and that is how it started in the second egg-tray a single

SPINACH
not rare but we do know of other like-minded people who would value one if in their own Back Yard! Digging deeper just as valued, to me at least, a

handsome

PURPLE BAR
and to make up the hat-trick a single

GREEN PUG
among the overnight cluster of 260 Macro Moths of 50 species!

The drive up north now takes us along a patch of

FLEABANE

which appears to be to the liking of both juvenile and adult

GREENFINCH 

while around the main pond the young

CANADA GEESE
are strating to show the pale 'face patches' patches of adult birds and better stilL one of the wayward

LITTLE GREBE

are they going to have another crack at it?

has found its way back to the Irrigation Pond after a leave of absence, while at least c2 'vocal'

SEDGE WARBLER

appear to have found the area to their likeing as well?
At the second SPC nothing was found to add to the
Moth Year List
but not for the first time we did find yet another

free flying

PRIVET HAWK-MOTH
once again clinging at a fence post and additionally a small

MURDER

of juvenile

CARRION CROWs

and ending with the vestiges of last weekend's
5's Rugby Tournament and this weekend's Music Festival on the nearby
Bournemouth University Playing Fields.
Security was ultra-tight but most polite and pleasent, as stopping for a chat both outward and inward. Asked if the music and other disturbances were bothering me, it would have been rather caddish to say yes as a vetran of the 'first' Bath Blues Festival (held on their rugby pitch), 3 days at the first Isle of Wight Festival, which broke my heart when missing my all time hero (James Marshall) Jimi Hendrix, due to commitments on H.M. Submarine Alcide sailing early (04:00) on the following day (but did see his helicopter arriving at mid-night while bording the ferry back to Pompey) little succour as he died just 17 days after the event, having since paid tribute to the greatest Axe-Man who ever lived, and the first Reading Festival along with a number of subsequents visits!

Jimi's second and final resting place in the
Greenwood Memorial Park, Renton, Seattle, Washington State, U.S. of A.
