I can't see the original sticky so will start a new thread.  Saw nearly 30,000 knot on Breydon Water yesterday.  Great weekend at Minsmere, Otter, Kingfishers, Bitterns, lots of Marsh Harriers

Nelliethehooker did you mean me not brue for the snap? I took it with my phone and yes I'm pleased with it too. More by luck than judgement!

Nelliethehooker did you mean me and not brue about the snap?? It does enlarge well. Real fast snap in my phone!

This is my second attempt at a reply. Typed it hit reply, it appeared to go, hung white for ages, no post, refreshed no post. I expect this will result in a duplicate!

My apologies, B2, of course I meant you.embarassed I think that I read brue's post above yours and you know how these names stick in one's head even when you know it's no the right one. Great photo anyway.wink

A pleasant 25C just sitting out in the garden. Lots of swifts and swallows airborne collecting insects and I've just spotted where one of the robins is nesting. We put a big tray of water out for the dog to play in and that's now attracting all sorts of creatures so will leave it out for a while. 

Like the moth photo B2 , a good time now to spot them.

The other day while walking the dogs down a local footpath a Golden ringed dragon fly landed on a cow parsley and in his jaws was a huge blue bottle  as I watched he proceeded tuck into it and was far too preoccupied to notice me,  alas some idiot had forgot to take his mobile phone with him yell

Young dippers on the stream at Roughlee this morning. Incredible well camouflaged, but already showing their characteristic jizz. Hopefully they’ll do well there. 🙂

 Some years ago we stayed at the Riverside caravan site  which is on the banks of the river Plym in of course Plymouth where we sat and watched the dippers who were not bothered by people and just carried doing their feeding

If you can zoom in on this I think this is a scarlet tiger moth resting by our pond during the day. With it's wings rested the scarlet isn't visible. Quite a large moth.
