Burton Leonard Lime Quarries

I took the accompanying shots at Burton Leonard Lime Quarries, a lovely little Yorkshire Wildlife Trust reserve between Harrogate and Ripon. There's a mixture of flower-rich grassland and woodland, and according to the YWT blurb, a good range of species have been recorded. However, there was not much showing today - I think it's getting a bit 'back-endish' for most of the grassland species. Saw a clouded yellow there last week - a rarity in this part of the world - but it disappeared before I could get a photo.
