Wagtail & Dipper.

Still behind (I always am) these images are from the end of last month at the Causey Burn. 

Mayfly.

This is a cloud of Midges I had to shoot through to get the images of both the Wagtail & Dipper. The little yellow dot in the centre of the shot is a Wagtail.

Durham Dales part two

 I don’t think I have ever come across a more obliging Dipper. I was able to just sit on the river bank (moving occasionally when it flew to a different rock) and get loads of images.

Scotland part five

 My penultimate Scottish Blog. We had a short walk by the River Garry on our last full day in Scotland, it was partially sunny with a breeze which made for a pleasant walk and I’m pleased to say there was plenty to photograph. I have split the Blog into two because as always, I have far too many images.

Plant Bug of the Miridae family possibly Lygus pratensis. There were a few of these bugs around one particular patch of clover but not on other patches.
