Still ketching up, so time for efficiency!
[ha]
Anyways, so I took an amble up on the South Moor to a nice high point, did some skywatching. Then I was out with the Folks, getting ourselves up to my favourite spot on t'Moor. A disappointing lack of Wheatears aside, it all went quite well [well, apart from all the Horseflies in the Avon valley, but we'll get to that]
Stories in pictures?
Some Flying Things;
Small Heath
Out in big numbers
[I gave up after getting past 40]
Visible birds
as well as vocal
Golden-ringed Dragonflies
also very evident
Keeled Skimmers
Beautiful Demoiselles
also frequent in
suitable areas
The Sub,
Nice viewpoint!
Wild Tor
Also quite scenic
More scenery
at Scorhill
I had company, too;
Snipefly
at The Sub
Green Willow Capsid
at Scorhill
More flying things, as the grasses and so on were full of moffs, mostly Silver Y, Brown Silver-lines, and Unidentifiable Micros, but also,
July Belle
Common White Wave
Common Carpet
As a reward for surviving the moths, here's something different,
Hedge Bedstraw
Bog Asphodel
Volucella inanis
I [and indeed we] only met hordes later on whilst wandering back down the Avon Valley, also Horseflies [tut]. Them aside, it was all very nice, if a bit blowy up with the Folks [though that was far better than calm weather, which would have been horribly oppressive] and while I didn't see anything better than Buzzard up above, you've got to put the hours in to finally get that Black Stork or flock of Bee-eaters [What? I can hope... ]
Ahem.
Be Seeing You...
