5. Ragged Robin now grow in large drifts.
6. Small Skipper Butterfly.
7. Meadow Salsify seed head.
8. The Burnet Moth covers the site in very large numbers, I have never seen them in such large numbers.
9. This grass must be 8 foot tall.
10. And this is not helping my hay fever.
Love the photo of the Common Blue butterfly -we have lots around over here but I've never managed to photograph them -always close their wings when they land on something! Must be a bumper year for Burnet Moths -nice and bright!
