Well the sunshine recently has been great but a little too warm for walking very far, so today the easterly breeze made quite a welcome change.

My first dragonfly photo of the year has been a long time coming, I’ve seen a few but not at rest for a photo and here it is, a female Ruddy Darter, seen Warren Glen, west.

Next up is a Small Tortoiseshell butterfly which I have seen relatively few of this year, seen Warren Glen east.

Finally ZZ380, one of 2 Royal Navy Augusta Westland Wildcat helicopters that flew past Warren Glen close enough for a half decent photo. The Wildcat is apparently the replacement for the Lynx.
