Starling Murmuration in Melton

 

Excavating

 

Early mist burning off

 

New floor (very exciting...)

Not the Belvoir Challenge

 What a shame it's not the Belvoir Challenge today... It would have been amazing! Still we pulled in a fantastic ride to the castle and back.

Snow Moon

January Moths

Hard to believe, but quite a few moths are on the wing at this time. Some, like this Early Moth, even flying in the snow.

Then, in woodland, these male Spring Ushers are busy seeking out their wingless female mates. How many can you see?

Their are five...

Family run

Which also included the finding of a Snipe in a frozen puddle - minus one wing, possibly dropped by a predator mid-meal.
