On the right is Mom Burrowing Owl with a smart offspring yapping and the other in the burrow wondering what is happening. Burrowing owls are tiny but full of personality.
there is some discussion for a possible dramatization of naked bulb's hissy fit and fall from grace.
we are not sure he can pull this off, but we figure it might be good for his morale.
he is still absolutely devastated after losing ms. bubble.
Moss covered limbs deep in the forest seemed to be trying to tell me something.

As the sun declined, I discovered these two cup agrions in this face-to-face encounter.
When night falls, these damselflies group together on common or nearby supports, and hide behind them with their long silhouettes when they detect a presence.
Enallagma cyathigerum, the cutting agrion, is a species of odonate insect that belongs to the European damselflies.
Agrions colonise the banks of clear, slow-flowing, well-oxygenated watercourses that receive plenty of sunlight.
The main threat to the agrionid is the modification of its habitat by man (mowing, dredging, water pollution). A National Action Plan for dragonflies was set up in 2010, with the aim of acquiring new knowledge about the ecology of the species in order to improve the protection of its habitat.

This mill has been undergoing some restorations and I am not sure if they have finalised it yet,hence the fencing around the mill.
The year after our visit here,hoping to return, they where still under discussions about the windows and the door.
Details taken from their Website today.:-
This iconic Sussex landmark, perched on Halnaker Hill and visible from a wide surrounding area, is well worth the climb to admire close up. The windmill is also a Grade 2 listed building. The wildflower-rich chalk grassland at the hilltop is a great spot to get away from it all and enjoy fine views of the coast across a patchwork of woods and farmland.
The top of Halnaker Hill is a Scheduled Ancient Monument as it is the location of a Neolithic earthwork structure known as a 'causewayed enclosure'. This scheduling includes the WW2 radio direction-finding structure.
The windmill has been recently restored with a new tile-hung façade and extensive repairs to the cap and balcony. The sails (known locally as sweeps) have also been restored and rehung. A new galvanised steel fence has been installed around the perimeter of the windmill. The windmill is closed to the public.
On the chalk grassland you may find some less common species of plant, such as Pyramidal Orchid and Common-spotted Orchid. Chalk downland is a rich habitat for insects and a food source for farmland birds, such as the Yellowhammer. Look out for Buzzards soaring over the landscape and Skylarks singing overhead.
Butterflies attracted to the flowers up here include the Marbled White, Common Blue, Large Skipper and Red Admiral. Along the lane, on the way up, keep an eye out for Silver-washed Fritillary, Large, Small and Green-veined Whites, Meadow Brown, Ringlet and Gatekeeper.

Noticed these two groups of milkweed bugs in my morning walk today. Can you imagine the topic for the discussion?
