whatammagonnado?

Stick it on the blog, obviously.

Last year on this blog (I can say that because I've been spinning this tedium out for everyone for an age) during the late summer  I stated that this was a moth free zone as many of my peers were filling the birdless days by finding moths and butterflies and things.  That didn't half make for some pretty repetitive postings.  I recant.  This post will contain a picture of a bug.  Why the change I hear you ask.  Why not I say.  They often stay still long enough to get a rubbish photo of and I have a book now, so I can now mis-identify moths and butterflies as readily as I do Gulls.  Hurrah!

So here we go, the first in an occasional and quite possibly very short series of posts on moths...

Yes kids, this blog is moth free. Through the month of June many of my peers have resorted to watching, catching, photographing and even posting about moths because there are no birds.



There are birds. No need for moths.


Yesterday I found three House Martins. Have you any idea how rare this is in Fulham? Despite the mud, water houses and enough insects to keep a small group of swifts happy there are no resident hirundines, so yesterdays finding was a cracker.


There have been plenty of other birds to see here - no need for moths.


Gulls.

A heron.

Um, a Cormorant.


Lets see, errr - a Dunnock!

Oh yeah, Wood Pigeons.

Blackbird.

Er, Mallard

Wren anyone?
