Another busy weekend with scarcely a lift of the binoculars. It was our village show on Saturday so all day was spent with that leaving today to have a bit of a rest before work tomorrow.
Still, the moth trap and garden always provides interest.
 |
| The whole weekend threatened storms but we only had an odd heavy shower. |
 |
| Above is a Scalloped Oak I was positioning on buddleia for a photo when a tiny flower bug came out to feast on the moths damaged wing! Very odd behaviour... |
 |
| Rosy Minor, a late summer marker and my first of the year. |
 |
| This boring looking one, is actually the moth of the weekend, being a Depressaria badiella. Its the 10th for Northumberland and the first since 2013. Its my garden second though... |
 |
| Our Village Hall, venue for the coveted village show. |
 |
| Victoria Sponge category... |
 |
| The best photo this weekend was this tiny saucer of fruit in some light through the window, looking lovely... |
So now with August upon us, its getting time to throw off the summer shades and get back out birding!

Congratulations on the family cake award! I'm really enjoying these village life posts Stewart. You live in a charming part of the country. Now we are getting into August you need to concentrate a bit more - you have a back garden Barred Warbler to find!!
Yes you're right Steve, I've had one in the garden in Aug, Sept and November, so, from about 10th, I'll be alert. They always come to me and not the other way around...
But I'd rather have a Wryneck this time...
THe rosy marker is gorgeous
