Because it's not been [that] neglected.
This may involve some pictures that are almost pretty. Be duly warned.
I have been mostly concerned with those dual trials of vismigging and bush-bashing, as you might expect, it being this time of the year and so on.
There has been much of what you'd expect [compare to Beer and Berry, while reducing numbers drastically], with the odd surprise and an occasional bout of bin-gnawing frustration.. So, what are you going to get on here?
Hmm...
Why is this photo funny?
Because of THIS photo.
Prepping for the Glorious Leader's parade?
;)
Ahem.
Honey Bee
Not a Honey Bee!
Yes, time to bug you with insect shots.
[No, it won't stop. Neither will the photos]
A few Red Admirals still going
Also Painted Ladies
Moth sp.
Lucilia sp.
Chrysotoxum sp.
Male Southern Hawker
[Honest. It flew right up to me.]
Yes, yes, that's bat-level awful, but a dragonfly on Patch and even registering on camera?
Still regular to the sunflower seeds
Very atmospheric at the Nose
Vismigging view!
[Itsa Yellow Wag, btw]
Speaking of migrants, while numbers have fluctuated [as you might expect] it has upon times been that pulses of especially Chiffs have been left scattered amongst the bushes. Now and again, there comes a very special Chiff; zap!
Chiff
Chaff
Chiff
Chaff
26 Chiffchaffs; 6 singing, 2 Willow Warblers, 5 Blackcaps; 1 singing
Over head, a couple of Yellow Wags, a scattering of alba Wags, and a fair few Mipits, plus a GSW, Swallows, House Martins, and a large number of [quite probably local] Goldfinches.
At sea, a group of 3 Manxies passing in sunshine.
Eyes down;
Birdsfoot Trefoil
Wild Basil
Ragwort
Prickly Lettuce
Agrimony
Upright Hedge Parsley
Corky-fruited Water Dropwort
Ooh, what's that?
Chorus: "It's always a Chiffchaff!"
Wild Thyme
Thyme to go. Oh dear.
Posting shall resume with a trip out in the damp, once I've finally found everything in Phillips!
Be Seeing You...
