Dawn,s wig.

Sunday 12th April

A pair of Mallard flying over Tregurnow cliff, Linnets along the coast path.
Beeflies in the cove!, these are flies that look a lot like bees but are also like small humming birds they resemble Humming bird hawk moths but their proboscis is permanently extended.
First sighting of Purple Orchids, should you come across any of these do not be tempted to pick them as having any part of these plants in your possesion carries very severe penalties under protection of wildlife legislation.

To finish a little humour!.

Our next door neighbour Dawn has recently been acting as an extra in a film being made locally ,she is playing the part of an old servant/ housekeeper and for this has to wear a grey wig.

As she had been wearing this a lot she figured it could do with freshening up, now these are made from a viscose material and as such cannot be washed.
The best thing she could think of doing was to hang it out in the fresh air which she duly did,
a little later she looked out to check it was ok and while she was doing this a large Rook swooped down and flew off with it. I now have a picture in my mind of young Rooks snuggling down in it or alternatively pulling it over themselves like a duvet.

But alls well , she managed to find another at a car boot sale.
