Obscured By Clouds - Pink Floyd

well, not quite by 'CLOUDS' as you will see!

With a balmy, 11°C, overcast and windless night surely something was stirring in the traps, it was but had to wait until the very end after the likes of

GREEN-BRINDLED CRESCENT

our fifth

MERVEILLE du JOUR

of the Autumn

along with

a couple of

SILVER Y
and a

FOOTBALLER HOVERFLY
were sorted.

DARK CHESTNUT

is an addition to the
PCF Year List

Re-setting the traps we came across this pensive looking 

JACKDAW
on the Maize Stubble

While up at the Irrigation Pond a couple of

MUTE SWAN
seemed to have taken over the joint.

There was also this Buck
ROE DEER

before we clapped eyes on

a most obliging

KESTREL

probably thinking it was some kind of

Movie Star

GREY SQUIRREL

are now back in good numbers, not having been seen at all over the
Summer Months,

while all else included this

CORTINARIUS

species of Fungi which was considered quite camera worthy!
Another

HOUSE MOUSE
came as now surprise but added just a little more zest to an otherwise
Quiet Day.

All that's left to to is to publish a couple of update images of the
Bournemouth Airport Factory Construction

Unfortunately, this progression has shown that once completed the
Mixed Colony of Breeding Gulls
that breed on the distant hanger roofs will no longer be in view.
The fence line has been covered with no signs of a vantage point,
but we will be investigating the prospects from the Industrial Estate at a later date.

A-Maize-ing Grace - Judy Collins

It seems as though the past couple of days have been spent in the doldrums with very little of note from Wildlife-Ville, and those 2 flashes of relief, a Hobby and good numbers of Redwing, were all fly-overs which didn't fall to the lens! The malaise also took its toll as we even overlooked publishing this post yesterday -Wake Up at the Back! However, and despite the overnight chill, there was a varied selection from the Moth Traps but nothing new.

BORDERED BEAUTY

BLAIR'S SHOULDER-KNOT
(c6)

BRICK

PALE MOTTLED WILLOW

infested with

Red Mites

and just to dispense with the 'old chestnut'
"we don't do Micros"
we have been finding a few

RUSH VENEER

We also find any of the Burying Beetles of interest, this a

COMMON SEXTON BEETLE
and finally from today's haul, and before they all finally reach the
Happy Hunting Ground

CRANEFLY

We still haven't given up on the Little Owls, although they have now been
unrecorded for quite a number of weeks, but with still no luck
we did arrive just in time to see the start of the Maize Harvesting

.

Now You See It!
(read on)

We were greeted at the Gravel Pit by at least c6

GREY WAGTAIL

but it was thought there could have been an additional 2?

Either way, just this one proved to be most obliging

and thought worthy of the 

FULL MONTAGE

THAT's ALL

On Merritown Heath things were deathly quiet

with just the occasional

SMALL HEATH BUTTERFLY

still on the wing,

a pair of overflying

MUTE SWAN

along with this FUNGI thought to be

RED CRACKING BOLETE
When we returned to Base some hours latter it was a case of

Now You Don't!
