The Durham Dales part one

 A few weeks ago, my wife suggested that we go up into the Durham Dales and visit an area that she use to go to when she was younger, her dad would take the family there for picnics, and I readily agreed, it’s a place that I have always liked to visit and there is nearly always some wildlife to photograph. We visited two areas and this is part one of three Blogs of the wildlife we saw.

 Stonechat.

A bit of a well-worn or possibly a young Stonechat.

Male Stonechat.

Meadow Pipit.



Another looking quizzical.

Pied Wagtail.



Red form of Cross/Garden Spider.

Spider.

Two Spiders with a meal all wrapped up.

Hoverfly hovering.

This beetle was struggling to get through the grass


It fell backwards and it showed its true colours.

It eventually got upright again and carried on struggling.

Ants.

More Ants.

I wasn’t expecting to see a female Black Darter up on the Dales.
