Glad I don't grow cabbages
Yesterday was a lovely day here, so I set off about 9am for Brockholes CP, it's only about 15 min's a way but the M61 goes down to two lanes going onto the M6 and this time of year it's murder if left till later to even get onto the M6. Caravans, car's, all, either going to the lakes or the seaside.
I was lucky to find Common Blues there, also lots of Orange Tips, some in good condition others slightly worn, other Butterflies noted were nearly all whites , I was also looking for Green Hair Streaks but I saw none. I thought the Common Blues looked particularly very dark Blue in colour or, may be it was just me seeing them for the first time this year
I was pleased to see a lovely Kestrel watching from the tree tops, I managed a few shots

It's chest when flying was very pink.
The river Ribble was looking at it's best and I was pleased to find the floating restaurant had put extra tables and chairs out-side and was serving take -aways also from out-side. ( I'd taken my own sandwich and flask just to be on the safe side)

I made a note that if and when I go again I may get some thing there especially if my Daughter comes up , she loves eating out .
All in all a very enjoyable day for me, when I got onto the M6 for home and entered the M61going South, I saw the M61 going North was choked with Traffic going back four or five miles I wouldn't want to be in that Traffic jam with the Sun so hot, it pays to go very early .
