(Very) Local Birding

Including a few things that have wandered indoors recently.

Wave/Shell sp.
[Ok, I really need a Moth Guide...]

Silver Y

Rosy Footman

Lacewing

I only ever see these on my ceilings

Very small, very active wasp sp.

A Trichogramma, maybe?

And we need something feathered and horrid - no, we do - and as the local Herrings have been as busy as they can...

Because of all the YLGs 
on show online right now

Note the notching extending along all the coverts and on the tertials, and the rounded head with slim bill, despite the 'contrasting pale head with eye mask', 'broad tail bar', and [when not stretching its head up to see where the next meal is coming from] big chunky build.

:)


Despite varying levels of co-operation [Those Y's never behave], the real factor in determining sharpness is as ever my deranged autofocus. It does not like things sitting on smooth surfaces!?!
Oh well. You can still see what they are, at least [which is better than some of the stuff on here, after all].


Looking a bit further off, this sight had to be photographed, and actually worked for once!

One of at least 18 up - after ants, I think

Swifts and the Moon, oh yeah.  :)

And that is likely to be all of the Moon I'll be seeing today; looking out of the window right now, I can see that, yet again, the only thing you can guarantee about interesting celestial events is that you will get 8 oktars of cloud...

Bloody weather.


And it still didn't rain properly.



[[But. But. The weekend. Wind? Cloud? Raiiin?   Maybe, just maybe. A wisp of a chance.]]



Be Seeing You...
