The Deer Hunter

 Still dogged by the weather but more particularly those odd passing showers, at least we started on the right note at the

Main Pond

where the first returning

CORMORANT
for the back-end of the year was wreaking havoc with the Fish population,

while flanked by c2 quite seperate and vocal

CETTIS WARBLER
at both east and west extremities.
En-route to the traps a brief stop at the Puddle of Mud where once again the

GREY WAGTAIL

was gorging followed by a little more colour from the Moth Traps in the guise of a considered 'late'?

MERVEILLE du JOUR
and a likely 'long-distance flying'

VESTAL

On exiting the Compound the

RED ADMIRAL
was still enjoying the area and joined by a

SMALL TORTOISESHELL
bronging a little colour to the day along with just the finest trace of a

RAINBOW
Otherwise down South

it was left to a

small herd of

ROE DEER

to

make up

the numbers.
