Thanks everyone for your input,
David i'm fed up with the wind as well, I tend to wait until I think it's dropped a bit before I can go out, the op I had on my eye as limited me , I can't stand the wind in it, my eye patch which I thought I'd dispensed with is back again.
Glad you like the HB Wurzel and I've given up on the PB for next week the forecast is the same all week windy and 12c
Thanks Bill, it's been quite a chore even going to look for them recently but worth it when you find some thing that isn't hiding in the edges
Thanks Maximus, she does look regal doesn't she
Whilst at Hall-Lee-Brook I took some shots of the Speckled Woods chasing around , I'm not sure if they were seeing off the opposition are trying to mate

I've included a couple of shots of the HLB and Spring Wood at Whalley where I thought I might find some Butterflies last week but it was so cold nothing, not even an OT was visible .
The first shot of HLB is of the meadow where this time last year it was covered in May flowers and OTS, this year the OT's were in the second shot which is sheltered but void of May flowers which are basically few and far between in the meadow, although Blue Bells and Garlic flowers can be found down by the stream, I'll take a shot of that next time I'm there.
Spring Wood are my second and third shots unmistakable really
