Burdon Moor part one

 Another walk around Burdon Moor, one of my favourite places to go to for insects etc. It can be famine or feast at times but there is nearly always something to photograph. On this particular day it just happened to be feast so once again I have split the Blog into two.

I Think this is a Yellow-sided Clover Sawfly a first for me.

Leaf Hopper.

Rove Beetle.

Noon Fly.

Cross/Orbweb Spider with two bits of bait.

I had my first trip to…

 …Twizell Woods this year last Sunday and what a canny trip it was. I saw at least three newly emerged Broad-bodied Chasers, quite a few Azure Damselflies and numerous Large Red Damselflies. I also got my first Speckled Wood butterfly of the year. I am still going through my Scotland images however, I hope to have some processed soon.

And a third.

The Large Red on the right is newly emerged however, I am not sure what species the other Damselfly is.

Caterpillar.

I might be miles out here but could this be a Gypsy Cuckoo Bumblebee? As I said in an earlier post, I am not good at Bees.

Carder Bee?

A couple of Dippers were on the stream.

Blocking our path back to the car was this Roe Deer.

More images from …

 …a few different sites while out and about over the last couple of weeks.
