Look! Wheatears! Pt.1, Down Here

Bit of a spoiler, that title, but never mind, eh?

So, Patrolling The Patch - when I could summon the energy to get out, and indeed once my shark bite had healed enough - gave results mostly at the Nose [oh, what a shock].

It hadn't started very well, [though running into a couple of the Irregulars was a good point], at least on a birding side, with a few flutterbies;

Holly Blue

[those eyespots work, then]

Jersey Tiger

ID the Hoverfly 1

ID the Hoverfly 2

ID the Grasshopper

Ok, ok, stopping with that.

Now this, this is

an ovipositor!

What. A. Wasp.

Bee Darwin Wasp

Enough invertebrates!

Three Grey Seals

Fine, fine, no more teasing.

Here you go,

Wheatear!

Wheatears!

Five lovelies at the Nose, an adult female and four juveniles. Woo.

Also at least 19 Oyks on the Lead Stone, though only a few Gannets offshore and a scattering of Chiffs in the bushes.

And finally;

Set in a wall on IMD

A lovely chunk of Permian brecciomerate, showing a wide variety of clasts. Near [vertical] face is cut, upper face weathered. Though obviously not in exposure, I'm pretty sure it's rotated 90°, with 'up' being to the right. Three units, coarsening up, with different clast sources to boot. :D

I'll limit myself to that.

[This time]
