Saturday Night - Sunday Morning (Part II)

 With 8, yes c8, Moth Traps in operation expectations were beyond high as some of the now regulars started being teased from their overnight B 'n' B.

HIS DAVE-SHIP
The very similar looking
BEAUTIFUL YELLOW UNDERWING
above and TRUE LOVES'S KNOT below
YOURS TRUELY
LARGE EMERALD
on Fern but across all of those 'hundreds of Insects only a 'single'

First for the Year

SIX-STRIPED RUSTIC
to huge disappointment but there would surely be more to come and a wander across the Heath inevitable where at the gateway the
APPLE TREE
was creaking with
Ripening Fruits
before the first species of Butterfly showed itself, and certainly not the last
GREYLING on BELL HEATHER
'always' closed winged!
The amalgamation of 2 trees making it look as one
Beech left Birch right.
A decent number of
STONECHAT
in all stages of maturity
surely points to a successful breeding season and think it worth making a
Part III of it tomorrow.
