Birds, Butterflies and Bugs.

Just a few bits from the last week or so. Mostly Butterflies and Bugs, (it's that time of year again). The Peregrine was taken at an undisclosed site on the coast.

This 24-spot Ladybird is also known as the Hairy Ladybird.

In search of Dragons

We went to Ventongimps NR for the first time on Friday and were not disappointed. It is a great place for Dragonflies etc, with a couple of great ponds and heathland. One of the ponds was created when a WW2 Bomber was discovered and excavated.

The Grayling were taken in the woods at Croft Pascoe, on The Lizard, as was the Wall Brown.

We have never seen them there before and they kept landing on us and the 'scope. In the first picture the wings are open slightly showing the rarely seen splash of colour.
