All to Delicate

 We have seen a couple of dull days lately, not only with the weather, but also with the First for Year Moths plucked from the traps which have included

STRAW UNDERWING

a couple of examples of the

DELICATE
and

WHITE-LINE DART
as during the process close to home a fly-past of both

the regular and noisy

CHINOOK
and again a

EUROPEAN CARGO
across a grim looking sky.

STRANGE BED-FELLOWs
in the Solar Panel Compoud with the second of the

RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE

close at hand,

along with continuing Gull activity including this fine specimen of

LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL
while disaster reins at the now completely covered

IRRIGATION POND

where nought but this juvenile

MOORHEN
was braving it!
with more bad news ending this Post at the Gravel Pit where only a single adult

LITTLE GREBE
was found, no eggs, no nest, no Humbugs surely it can only get 'better'!
