The sound of the pipes reminded me of a different time in Sikkim Northern India where pipe playing is used for another effect.

Every year at this time I play particular attention to the Poplar tree in the garden and every year so far I have come across the caterpillars of the poplar Hawk Moth. They are well camouflaged but not enough to escape predation from birds. This year along with Puss Moth caterpillars they were got. This example is of last year.
Poplar Hawk Moth at rest which is how you will normally find them. A male, smaller bodied and larger antennae. Here in North Fife I have witnessed in the garden, Large and Small Elephant, Bee, Hummingbird and to my absolute delight Convolverlus Hawk Moths.

His Holiness Dalai Lama. Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso. Today July 6th is the Birthday of His Holiness.
Today the brambles in North Fife are promising to give a good yield of fruit this year. Certainly the set of Plums, apples, Pears is not so good though Elderberry might save the day. It's very much swings and roundabouts with food production.
Oilseed Rape North Fife, it has been grown around here increasingly over the years and indeed benefited myself when I kept Bees. It was the thought of bees that took me into the field, alas there was not a domestic hive bee to be seen, fortunately the air was alive with the sound of bumblebees, the dark blobs in shot are them.
Biocontrol of Oilseed Rape Pests. Oilseed rape, a major crop in many parts of the world, is attacked by a wide range of insect pests, many of which are of considerable economic importance. With the increasing demand to reduce agrochemical inputs on arable crops, the Commission of the European Communities supported a three-year programme in which scientific participants reviewed the natural enemies of oilseed rape insect pests. The various outputs from this important work form the basis of this comprehensive new book. "Biocontrol of Oilseed Rape Pests" commences with a review of the oilseed rape crop, followed by chapters on pests, pest management strategies and parasitoids of specific pests or groups of pests.Detailed information is also included on sampling, trapping and rearing pests, their parasitoids and predators; the identification of hymenopterous parasitoids; pathogens of oilseed rape pests, predators, predator taxonomy and identification, and the impact of on-farm landscape structures and systems on predators. This book is an essential purchase for all those involved with oilseed rape and for anyone with an interest in agricultural biocontrol strategies.

Field Beans Pittachope farm north fife. Alongside the potatoes in a field about 1/2 mile from my home at Upper Flisk are these field beans. Like many plants beans benefit from insect pollination but here as in many places in the world the domestic honey bee is in decline and indeed have not been evident very much at all this year. Fortunately there are other pollinating insects though the field bean is less dependent than the broad bean that we all eat.
Abundant flowers that may produce profitably. 
Bee Pollination in Agricultural Eco-systems. For many agricultural crops, bees play a vital role as pollinators, and this book discusses the interplay among bees, agriculture and the environment. Although honey bees are well recognized as pollinators, managed bumble bees and solitary bees are also critical for the successful pollination of certain crops, while wild bees provide a free service. As bees liberally pass pollen from one plant to the next, they also impact the broader ecosystem, and not always to the benefit of humankind. Bees can enhance the unintentional spread of genes from genetically engineered plants, and may increase the spread of invasive weeds. Conversely, genetically engineered plants can impact pollinators, and invasive weeds can supply new sources of food for these insects. Bees' flower-visiting activities also can be exploited to help spread biological control agents that control crop pests, and they are important for native plant reproduction. Managing bees for pollination is complex and factors that must take into consideration are treated here including bee natural history, physiology, pathology, and behavior.Furthermore, transporting bees from native ranges to new areas for pollination services can be controversial, and needs to be done only after assuring that it will not disrupt various ecosystems.

The phone box in Brunton North Fife is likely to be away soon as British Telecom prune their remit of public service. A pity, Brunton itself lies within a bowl surrounded by hills with little cell phone connectivity, should anything occur the opportunity to contact the emergency services will be less. Few people now carry flags where they might climb the nearest hill and semaphore to get assistance. Only the really on the ball carry a BT phone card. History of North Fife Cupar.
