Today in Pictures, with the sun beating down the flora and fauna was a joy today, I set off to find a specific flower, this is my second year I have not found one, I know they flower I have just not found one as you will see.

1. The Great Burnet is now flowering.
2. There are still pockets of meadow flowers that the grasses have not suppressed.
3. Ox Eye Daisy with a height that is higher than most of the other meadow species.
4. A Six Spot Burnet Moth on a thistle.
5. Seed from a goatsbeard making a dash for freedom.
6. Dog Rose basking in the sun.
7. More Ox Eye Daisy.
8. This is the plant I can never find in flower, Tropopogon, the goatsbeard, there is a closed flower on the left and the seed head on the right.
9. Six Spot Burnet Moth on a Common Spotted Orchid.
10. Young frond of the Bracken fern. The only insect I have found that inhabit this plant are Ants.

And with that my tootle around the Huncoat Colliery came to an end.
