Just the tonic

A much needed walk was just the tonic for myself and Mrs B after a hectic week. Thankfully the skies cleared and there was an abundance of wildlife on show. I mostly walk along the way on my own so it was wonderful to walk together with butterflies, Ladybirds, Grasshoppers for company.....

Last day of July

There were lots to see today despite the unpredictable weather, starting out with a cool breeze and light drizzle the sun decided to burn through. A common blue fluttering by was only the beginning, a bee was so engrossed in gathering pollen to notice my camera. In the distance Goldfinch were busy feeding from Teasels, I was amazed to only see two birds and then move nearer to see a whole flock of these colourful birds fly away. A satisfiying last day of July....

Step up and beyond

A late walk out on the Way after a lovely weekend just pottering around in the garden. Iam usually an early bird returning home with a photographic bonanza with a collection of critters, creatures and flaura with a big grin from ear to ear but Iam still happy with this photo of the A frame steps and clouds up and beyond.........

A bright morning on the way

Just somethings found on the way this morning....

Caterpillar's of the week

caterpillar's of the week. A Mullein moth caterpillar with its striking black and yellow markings.

How I found it I don't know and after a flick through my book with several onlookers it was I come to the conclusion it is called The Drinker.

June 9th

Small Skipper, Common Blue, A tatty Small Copper and I beleave to be a Silver Y moth all found by Waterloo leisure close to the lakes. The meadow that is now an eighth of its size due to a pitch and putt that nobody seems to use is out in colour. Also I found blue and red Damselflies in the area. It appears to be a place thriving in diversity despite alot of the area being cut back...
