Bugs and a sedge warbler
Today I follow the choughs about a bit to determine their feeding sites. This should also give us a good idea of where they might bring the chicks when they fledge (which we’re hoping should be around the end of the month). The birds are busy collecting food, but still take time to groom each other, with Mr Brownblue occasionally running over to Lady Whitebrown with a food offering. Both the birds still look in top condition.
Today I saw, and heard, my first sedge warbler. Excellent. They have an incredibly complex and varied call (the RSPB recording doesn’t really do it justice, as it usually goes on for a lot longer), which makes them sound ever so slightly mental.
- Glow worm larva (lamppyris noctiluca). Glow worms are suffering a continuing decline in numbers thanks to reduction in habitat and other human related factors
- Bombus Pascourum on Kidney Vetch
- Uhh, do I need rescuing?
- Wall pennywort or navelwort (thanks Nic/Rachel), lichen on rock, and the Atlantic. And some sky (blue).
- Painted lady (Vanessa cardui)
- A wicked wee bug on the blogger’s finger. It gave me some advice (good), and then was on its way
