27th March 2011.... Just when I thought it was slack.......

After a long period of Common Quakers, Clouded Drabs, Hebrew Characters etc, it was nice to get something different. Checking the traps this morning I was pleased to see another Red Chestnut but that was soon overshadowed when I lifted out the final egg tray to find a Pale Pinion. This is a garden "first" for The Dells, bring on a Tawny ! .............................................................................. RED CHESTNUT 2139
