21/07/2023-Lakeside and home

Photos taken in this set: 1. Carrot. 2, 3, 4, 9 and 10. Views on two great walks today. 5. Starling in the garden. 6. Teasel. 7. A lovely young Moorhen I enjoyed seeing, they have great stark colours and I saw Moorhens well generally today. 8. One of a couple of Collared Dove I really liked seeing at Lakeside, I'm more used to seeing them at home so it's always a novelty seeing them at Lakeside.

Alongside the geese and butterflies and moths mentioned in my last two posts about today, I enjoyed seeing House Martins delightful birds sailing through the air and hearing Chiffchaff well beside the lakes on both walks. Other highlights today were; seeing both families of Great Crested Grebes and lots of Mallards well again, Blackbird, Robin, Blue Tit, good views of Feral Pigeon and Magpie, Black-tailed Skimmer, Common Red Soldier beetles, burdock I believe greater burdock, dark mullein, knapweed, thistle including fluffy seed heads which were illuminated by the evening sun that I enjoyed today, daisy, agrimony, hemp agrimony, St. John's-wort, meadow crane's-bill, herb-Robert, purple loosestrife, red bartsia which is coming into its own here now and cuckoo-pint. Woodpigeon, House Sparrow and Lesser Black-backed Gull out the front were other great birds to see at home today with bees flitting around the lavender seen well in the front garden and buddleia and agrimony and other flowers I liked seeing in the garden.

Guess I’ll die / This is fine - dragonfly with meme potential :D

Snapshot from our vacation at the Mecklenburg Lake Plateau. It was a beautiful week, lots and lots of hiking to bird and insect watching spots. We ticked many boxes of the “Lake Pokédex” with ospreys, white-tailed eagles, a bittern, red-backed shrikes, a golden oriole, kingfishers, scarce chasers, a migrant hawker, a brown hawker, common bluetails with alternate colorations (Shinys? :D) and absolute heaps of black-tailed skimmers, ruddy and scarlet darters. I’ll post photos of them in the next days :)

Photos taken in this set are of: 1. A beautiful Brown Argus which I was enthused to see in the eastern meadows of Lakeside, a charming butterfly that has been a key one for me this year. 2. Steeplebush out the front. 3. Beautiful dandelion seed head on the way to Lakeside at lunch time. 4. One of a few House Sparrows enjoyed in the Lakeside allotment hedgerow. 5, 6 and 8. Views on a memorable lunch time walk, a great escape into the outdoors in my working day with some great sunshine. Oak, ash, birch, pine, apple, cherry and other trees glistened in the sunlight. 7. Knapweed at Lakeside. 9. Canada Goose in the sunshine at Lakeside, this seems to be a regular individual here now as the birds including grown goslings move away from these nesting grounds. 10. The crowd of sunflowers out the back with varied coloured buddleia in shot nicely too, it's always cheerful to think of the sunflower seeds scattered by the birds when they eat them bringing flowers to the garden in the summer.

I got an excellent view of a Migrant Hawker flying around me and lurching to hunt an insect at one point, the best view I've got of one in this string of sightings the last two weeks. A majestic dragonfly, and I was heartened to see a Black-tailed Skimmer by beach lake perhaps the last I'll see this year. This shiny dragonfly has been one of my standouts this year. Alongside (though it's around throughout the season) Emperor, Black-tailed Skimmer is a key species to see here in spring going into summer whereas mid-late summer and into autumn Migrant Hawker, sometimes Southern Hawker and Common Darter take over so it was like a changing of the guard. I saw Blue-tailed Damselfly today which have made something of a comeback into my year this week. I was transfixed by a fair few Common Blues in the meadow by the woods, with Gatekeeper, Speckled Wood and Meadow Brown seen too. I was also delighted to see a Lesser Hornet hoverfly on some wild carrot at Lakeside, my first ever here two days after I saw my first at Shipton Bellinger. What a year I'm having for both hornet hoverfly species now. I got smashing views of the Great Crested Grebes, a quite grown up juvenile Moorhen attracting my attention nicely I am more used to seeing them when really young so this was nice and gorgeous Chiffchaff at Lakeside, with Collared Dove a species I saw well and a lot of at home today. Greylag Geese come and go now too as they do from now up until the late winter/early spring and it was good to see some today at Lakeside with Magpie, Carrion Crow and Jackdaw enjoyed at Lakeside and home today too. Other key flowers seen at Lakeside today were gypsywort, burdock, mugwort, broad-leaved clover and pineappleweed with bright pink musk mallow and thistle standing out in the flower bed on the way to Lakeside. Seeing and smelling a grounded apple with some on a tree as well as rose hips at Lakeside and home was nice, with steeplebush and firethorn berries enjoyed at home too.
