Seek And Ye Shall Find


Messing about the eastern side of t'Moor last weekend saw me getting a little soggy, and a lot brainblasted [pesky head, attacking whilst I'm out having fun. It just won't do...] but I also saw some very lovely things.


Such as;

Marsh Fri-
Wait, there's something
wrong with this photo....


That's better!

Yes, much better.

Marsh Fritillaries belong on Marsh Orchids [don't look too closely...]


Now, the underwing...

...is arguably even better.

Not just MF. Here's MS!

Mother Shipton, that is.

Sometimes, just sometimes...

...a Green Hairstreak...

...will be really helpful!


Not just motherflies, either.

Beautiful Demoiselle

Both flavours

Likewise Broad-bodied Chasers

Female ovipositing!



A journey of non-specific distance later...

Spotted Flycatcher

Redstart FF

Female 
[different territory]


Back to the wet stuff;

Orchid time

Showing a fair

bit of variety

in form and colour


But most of all, a day of these;

Peatier one

Just caught it!



My head might not have let off before the early hours, but it was worth it!

:D



Be Seeing You...




[[ In my defence, none of the orchids shown have spotted leaves. And they're all in a marsh. 😇 ]]
