Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull

With the last 2 nights dropping in temperature to below Zero C, we have to return to Tuesday to view anything from the Moth Traps. Wednesday morning only produced 4 species to a total of 9 Macro Moths while today drew a complete BLANK - the first time ever.
BRICK
was about the only one worth showing, but with a couple of appointments
to attend to there might be more en-route.
LONG-TAILED DUCK
is one I have seen a few of in Dorset over the years,
but what has eluded me in the County
was one close enough to photograph.
While this individual was extremely active
in feeding mode
one on the surface there was a chance of a 'snap'.
A young
GREAT CRESTED GREBE
close by was worth a shot but the
BLACK GUILLEMOT
proved, as ever, to be distant and difficult!
Can you see it yet?
These were the best shot that could be managed.
With the continuing absence of Hugh and Janet in Zimbabwe, it was a quick 'about turn' once my loose ends were tied up, hence the short post - please keep tuning in!
