That Patch Place...

Again, defying heat and Sun and hordes of frothing grockles... [eeeeeesh], I have been down the Nose [and elsewhere, but less said the better]

I've even been staring at the sea.

Couldastayedinbed...

Ahem.

Arriving last Saturday at 0645 [what does the 0 stand for...? Exactly.] I found, well, bugger all.

No land migrants, but three Oyks on the shore and a few Gannets offshore.

Some feeding activity was going on waaaaaaay off to the SE [and probably was stuffed with Balearics, judging by pelagic results] but Gannets and gulls aside, nothing could be ID'd through the heat haze [yes, even that early]

What did he get?

Try these;

Autumn Lady's-tresses

In the garden of The Bestest House - along with a Wall - none at the Nose.

 

I contented myself with photographing flower-lurking insects;

Chrysotoxum elegans

Eumerus funeralis*

Welted Mason Bee??

Long-faced Furrow Bee?

Or Green Furrow Bee?

Also, this chap reeling in the Bass in his gill nets...

[COMMENT DELETED]

Ahem.

Here's some overdue gully goodness;

The Horror....The Horror...!!!

Love that manky moulting monster!

:D

In other news, my Last Swift was as recent as the evening of the same day, seen from Home at 1920, feeding overhead at the usual foraging height of the locals.

And finally;

{In one's best Richard of York}  A Storm, A Storm, my yearlist needs a storm!!!

 

 

[Ahem...]

Be Seeing You...
