You might even retain enough eyesight to read them...?








Maybe.

Green. [It's Not All Moths]


Honest.

Not a great deal new going on onshore bird-wise. Swifts still present at time of typing, breeding spp. trying for second [or even third] broods, cute juveniles knocking about..

Like this noisy boy at the Nose;

Green Woodpecker.
Juvenile male

Greenfinch.
Juvenile 

Blue Tit
Adult, clearly suffering,
trying to provision
 2nd/3rd brood!


A little brightness
in my Skygarden



Just a breather from the mothy hordes...
:)

Oh Noes. Pt. 1, Torture


Mothfrenzy begins.....


I suppose those dratted pugs need to be got on with...


Double-striped Pug

Wormwood Pug

Pug 3

Pug 4
[Another Doublestripe..]

Plain Pug?

Pug 6

Cloaked Pug

Pug 8

Juniper Pug,
melanic form

Pug 10

Foxglove Pug

Common Pug, form unicolour,
with a Yellow Shell



Wait.. You want me to ID them all?!?!???


[[Correctly???? ::Falls about laughing:: ]]


Well, reader, I gave it a go.




But even I have my limits.



Just assume they're all 'generic common pug'.  [Most of them are Double-stripes, I think....]


Anyways, enough about them.

Off Doing Something


Having Something to do does help with the apathy, even against the oppressive heat of Summer [and I don't just mean the 30°+ nonsense of mid-July, either..].

So I went off on a Jolly to the Far North [er, again] and in shock turn of events caught up with two yearticks.


Now, I know most of you aren't even vaguely yearlisty, so we'll not go into details [not least due me getting exactly 0 pictures.. Tut] and just have some actually viewable scenery and so on.


You might remember this place..?

Stock Dove nest site
[left hole]

Having just annoyed the neighbours.

All sorts of interest about in [slightly] less wind than last time.

Pyramidal Orchid

Buff-tailed on Spear Thistle

All you can eat buffet for this
Seven-spot Ladybird!

Juvenile Swallow!

House Martins


Sand Martin

Meadow Pipit


Not just birds on a wire,

Great White Egret

Sedge Warbler



Moving on...


Somewhere new, somewhere even so rather familiar,
 
Steep slopes, Oaks...
 
Oooh, strata...
[What?]
 
 
Interesting view.


All manner of woodland and scrubland spp. were heard if not seen [full leaf] in toasty sunshine [well, some people enjoy that sort of thing] and I even got in an hour's watching the sea [though passing gulls and shipping were the only things seen, but hey] during my [slightly late] lunch.
Lovely spot, definitely going back.
:)


Aside from the usual Summer Goons on the roads ["Oh learn to reverse or get an uber!"] and a lack of low-flying [or even high-flying] kites, it was rather fun.
