…no Owls in sight. Here are (quite) a few images from Burdon Moor from the end of last month.
A cracking Grasshopper Warbler posed very nicely for
me.
Whitethroat were everywhere.
Willow Warbler were in nearly every bush (just a
slight exaggeration).
Meadow Pipit.
Kestrel on one of the telegraph poles.
At one point it was hovering just above my car.
There were loads of Orange-tip Butterflies
Also loads of Green-veined White Butterflies.
Platycheirus species of Hoverfly.
Cheilosia pagana Hoverfly?
Great shots of the Gropper Ron, top one is superb. Can't remember the last time I saw one, never mind heard one with my ageing ears unfortunately. :-(
ReplyDeleteCheers Alan. I got lucky I was trying to photograph a Whitethroat and as I went around the top of the loop the Gropper was just sitting on the fence, I couldn’t believe it. It then flew into the same bush as the Whitethroat.
