Sophie and I had an epic trip out a couple of weekends back. Ostensibly we went to see the Nature reserve, and maybe the seals at Seal Sands, which we did, but then did a tour of the huge industrial estate next to the reserve, stopping to take photo’s along the way, until at the end a nice man came out of a guard box and told us we weren’t allowed in there let alone to take photo’s :). He then pointed out that the rules were a bit daft as anyone with google earth could see the whole shebang from above. We’d finished anyway, so off we went. A good day out!
We could see the industrial site on the way to the reserve, so had a stop to get the big thingy here.
then on to the nature reserve
There were loads of Burnet moths around, very pretty
and snails
and I saw a woolyboy
and a beautiful butterfly
stay tooned!

Nice work, FR. I can never tell the difference between a moth and a butterfly, but I like those Burnet Moths. Don’t think I have ever seen one.
All I know is that if they come in the house at night, and fly around a light, then they’re moths…
Best wishes, Pete.

That happens to me too, the trick is when on iPad don’t go to the reader version, go to the ‘visit’ button at bottom of a post.

Great pics – though I am wondering what “appropriate action” might consist of – fines? jail time? execution? This is all very mysterious.

“Appropriate action will be taken in the event of unauthorised access” – sounds rather threatening and sinister! Lovely nature shots.
