More from Kibblesworth

Here are a few more images from a walk around Kibblesworth brick ponds and a small pond closer to home. I am keeping an eye on this pond, as it could potentially be a canny place for Dragonfly.

It might look like a peaceful scene of a Mute Swan resting on a the pond

Unfortunately, the swan had a damaged wing. It seemed to be feeding o.k. however I was disappointed to see a number of dogs (not on leads) jumping into the pond which must have terrified the injured swan. At one stage, there were fourteen dogs running all over the place with only two “professional” dog handlers to look after them.

I must have accidentally walked past a Lapwings nest site (they weren’t there the day before) and it was trying to distract me.

It flew close by

Oystercatcher over the pond

Male Orange-tip

Female Orange-tip

Not pin sharp but I like it

Green-veined White

Small Tortoiseshell

Syndemis Musculana I think

Moth. Looked through the book I might have missed it but I could not see it so don’t know what it is.

Does anyone know what this plane is it flew over Kibblesworth on the day of the Royal wedding?
