White letter day
Had a great day out yesterday at Blanchland with some friends of ours. The day started well with Spotted Flycatcher in the car park (no Golden-ringed Dragonfly when I was there, hope you got one Rob) then Swifts flying around the village. On to the White Monk for a coffee and scone then a walk along the river which produced a very obliging young Robin and Dipper (no pictures of the Dipper, wrong lens) and a couple of Forest Bugs (right lens). It was lunch in the Lord Crewe then a walk up to the lead mine. Green-veined White, Small Skipper and a Grasshopper posed for pictures.
Said goodbye to our friends after a great day dropped my wife off at home then it was down to a well-known spot (very well known judging by all the trampled grass) for another first for me White-letter Hairstreak of which I saw two.
