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 !!

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 !

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 !
