I Got Stung - Elvis Presley

 After the Party of the weekend came something of a disappointment as we had handed out, and explained, 'fliers' advertising the Bagsy Blog with seemingly much interest but unfortuneately only a 'dip' as far as HITS were concerned yesterday. Let's say 'early days' and hope for a response soon?

Good and Bad visited us at the Moth Traps 'early doors' as in the first instance a

GEM
MARBLED BEAUTY
and
LEAST YELLOW UNDERWING
were added to the Year List
but while sticking ridgedly to the original blue-prints for the construction of the

Great Wall of China

our own efforts didn't seem to have lasted quite as long?? and having a word with the culprits the Sheep could only say, " if you have an Itch you have to scratch it"!! Put back in place, for now at least we also plucked a rather fine and co-operative
OAK EGGAR
from that particular trap even willing to show its
UNDERCARRIAGE
as
WASPs
are also being caught, almost in 'swarm proportions', having never had a year of not being stung!
In the morning gloom
SWALLOWs
were making feeding sorties from the high wires,
maybe 'bunkering' for long and upcoming journey south
while in the Main Compound
evidence of
COMMON BUZZARD

moult or maybe an encounter with a Prey Species,

and also the first of this years crop of juvenile
HERRING GULLs
most likely the product of the nesting birds on the
Warehouse and Hanger Roofs at Bournemouth International Airport
(the authorities there don't care for them)

P.S. - there is a rumour, and no more than that, that some people have more Important and / or Interesting things to do than read the Bagsy Blog? Propaganda We Call It!
