Round-leaved Sundew, Thorne Moors






Even the deer are careful where they put their feet ! 










We picked a perfect day to walk from Crowle onto Thorne Moors to look for the Round-leaved Sundew. With spot-on directions we soon located the area and there they were, at our feet, lots of them, some with a flower spike. With hobbies souring above, these stunning, unique plants and 18,000 steps, it was a grand day out !! 

Home Grown Veg




Harvest time. You just can't beat it !

Caspian Tern, RSPB Frampton Marsh






Caspian Tern snoozing as the spoonbills feed behind





Bathtime !



A trip down to the superb Frampton Marsh reserve, managed by the RSPB. Was suprised by how many people were there for a Monday, thought the weekend rush would be over and it would be relatively quiet.....wrong !  Only just managed to get parked !  The caspian tern had flown off to feed so we found a good spot and waited. An excellent crowd that all practiced social distancing, the banter and laughter flowed and the tern flew back in straight onto the sand spit infront of us - perfect ! Excellent views of a cracking bird. Spoonbills and a single whooper swan made up the supporting cast. Love this reserve, it's well managed for birds and birdwatchers, just wish it was closer to home !

Little Owls








Our local little owls were very active tonight and looked stunning in the sunset

Silver Washed Fritillary











We have given you an overdose of Silver Washed Fritillary pics just lately, I know. But we see them most days on our walks and who cannot stop and admire them, they are so beautiful. And when they pose for a pic, would be rude not to !
