"Breakfast at Tiffanie's" - Deep Blue Something

Across what was likely the most numerous catch of the year there were no species added to the Year Tally but good to see both

DOTTED BORDER
along with only our second

DOUBLE-STRIPED PUG 

while also recorded were what are considered to be c2 seperate species of
ICHNEUMON WASP

but it was then that it dawned on us that the lamp in this,

The Solar Panel Compound Trap  

has been burning continuously day and night for over a year now. We've certainly had full value out of that, plus there is every indication that we may well have the other 2 traps flashed up there by the end of the week? Otherwise, and lucky to be able to keep the promise of better images of yesterday's male

WHEATEAR
we firstly found the female above
followed by maybe the same
male of the day before?
but there's no chance of proving that.
Changing the tune slightly our second onlt Butterfly of the year a single
COMMA
followed by
numerous
GREAT TIT
overlooking the Heath a small number of
SISKIN
along with a 'jammy' shot of this
CHIFFCHAFF
about to tuck into breakfast, the 'dot' above.
