All That Glitters is not Gold

 GLOOMY of late sounds very much like an understatement, but still life goes on but only 2 additions to the Annual Moth List by way of:-

CYPRESS CARPET

and

MINOR SHOULDER-KNOT

along with a

SEXTON BEETLE

as usual with attendant
PARACITES

"fly away sweet little thing they're hot on your trail" - Genesis!

while from Marillion

"A SPIDER wanders aimlessly within the warmth of a shaddow

not the regal creature of border caves. But the poor, misguided, directionless familiar of some obscure Scottish poet!

Bitter Suite from the album

Prey Species - Clouded Border Moth.

Feeling lucky to find anything at all, given the weather conditions, we happened upon this

WOOD PIGEON

unaware as engaged in a
Bath and Dhobie as us seafarers might say,

which was a similar circumstance with this young

LAPWING

while continuing the 'juvenile' theme with

STONECHAT

or is it a Robin

with a

number of

ROBINs

somewhat older and maybe the

PARENT

with a small

CHARM

of
GOLDFINCHES

bringing our wander to an end.

PIED WAGTAIL
from the doorstep.
