It's been a busy month.
Such a busy month that a chap can barely find time to update his blog.
So here's a photographic round up of some of this months highlights at Hartpury Orchard Centre:
First up, a Little Grebe. A patch first and No. 71 on the list:

Next up..... Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a wasp?
No, it's a hornet. Just the one. Quite a handsome little "dude" though, as my daughter would say. With the exception of dragonflies I haven't been keeping an insect tally. Perhaps it's time to start?

There were still good numbers of
Chiffchaffs to be seen most days:

There are usually a couple of
Great Spotted Woodpeckers on site and
Green Woodpeckers have been feeding in the orchard grass most days:

A nice
Small Copper turned up on the 28th and there have been good numbers of dragonflies and damselflies all month:

So, I'm beginning to think that, with a fair wind, October could turn out to be a very good month indeed.
