Oh dear oh dear oh dear...
"Rooooaaaarrr!!"
Ahem.
Somewhat scarier were the large numbers of black horrors zipping about t'Moor;
These
are all different
Devil's Coach Horse Beetles!
But I am perhaps getting a little ahead of myself.
One of my yearly objectives, and in particular for my little end of summer hollydays, is to get to Fur Tor.
You know, this place,
Fur Tor!
I had the place to myself [well, myself and the Ravens and the Wheatears and all the hirundines passing by.. oh and His Majesty's Finest, who were getting their dakka on {That latter may have something to do with the former, also why I had to take the scenic route to go around Merrivale Range} :) ]
On Cut Hill,
looking back
Fur Tor.
Just inside Okie
20km rather than the usual 18, with an enforced summiting of Cut Hill for 'good' measure.
Worth it for the solitude, though!
I mentioned Wheatears... I saw 9. Woo and so on.
Observe,
Like the name says
Actually at Fur Tor
Proper posing
Heading back up Cut Hill,
wait, what's that...??
Awwww.....
I made a large detour left* to avoid flushing this little darling.
Round-leaved Sundew
Immature Black Darter..
..a male
Hirundines over Sandy Gate
It was wonderful, up there.
:D
Be Seeing You...
[[* Right would have put me in Merrivale Range, of course.]]
