The Wall - Pink Floyd

PLEASED DO NOT BE LULLED INTO A FALSE SENSE

THAT ALL IS WELL IN 'LAPTOPVILLE' AS IT ISN'T QUITE YET.

HOWEVER, WE ARE MAKING MUCH HEADWAY TO GETTING THERE

AND ARE NOW ABLE TO EDIT AND DOWNLOAD OUR IMAGES.

Having travelled ¾ of the way around the World and half way back in the last week it was understandable that Jean-Francois was in little mood to be wandering round the Moth Traps at day break, but my routine remained the same as he slept off the jet-lag!

The only Firsts for the Year were a fine looking

TAWNY SPECKLED PUG

along with a

MARBLED GREEN

while the Best of the Rest were made up by

BIRD'S WING

YELLOW-BARRED BRINDLE

and

BIRCH MOCHA

By the time identifying, photographing, editing etc were completed
J-F was out of the hammock and raring to go, albeit on a sedate paced
introduction to Parley Court Farm.
As the Sand Martin 'WALL'

was still active a couple of days before his arrival

it was considered the best place to start

and we were not disappointed.

Even at this late date in the season and among all of the noise of plant
and traffic there were still 'dozens'

of Birds zooming about

but best of all had to be the

Juveniles

just look at those feather markings!

We make no apology for lingering on the subject

as since then they have all disappeared vacating the nest site for

warmer climbs no doubt.

Before their return next year we will be hoping for some determined discussions

with the ECO Management

to maintain this vital breeding area.

As far as the laptop is concerned, we feel we have pushed our luck
far enough for the first day back so will leave you with the latest from the

Trail Cameras

GREEN WOODPECKER

again a juvenile

in all its glory.
MANANA!

If I Had a Hammer (Cop) - Trini Lopez

We continue to delve into the photo archive for inspiration, but it does look as if there is some serious light at the end of the Laptop Tunnel! It can be told that our friend Jean-Francois Ozoux arrived safely from Montreal, en-route to Bangkok via Paris, and then detoured to Southampton since when we have been enjoying ourselves to the full. Our Post of 02/08/2016 refers! All of this, and more, should be appearing in your front parlour in the days to come. In the meantime please enjoy a selection of Birds from one of our trips during 2010, we'll leave it to you to guess where it was!
