Not a patch on your recent shots Mike, but thank you. Having never seen that before I was well pleased

I appreciate that Neil - that shot (deer) is probably one of my all time favourites, not because of the quality but because of the memories

Hi Mark, yes, I was surprised at the behaviour too. It wasn't just once, but 3 or 4 times that butterfly looked to all intents and purposes as though she was egg-laying. Once she had flown I scrutinised that plant but I could find no sign of an egg so I haven't a clue what was going on

I wish you could give me similar reassurances regarding the other wildlife being displaced Martin

You are so good at spotting these details David. I had actually noticed the lack of spots but put it down to 'normal' variation. However, having now looked at this web site I am wondering if it was an ab?
Good to hear from you Kev and thank you very much

Having eventually shaken off the persistent Small Blue I made my way along the track but was soon distracted by a patch of nettles
