Elusive brown butterflies which never settled enough for me to get a clear view of them. These pictures are the clearest from perhaps two dozen tries at getting images of the insects, possibly ringlets. Seen at several wildflower meadows: the ones pictured from Baggeridge Country Park, Bilbrook Jubilee Wood and the Barley Field.
Meadow salsify, also known among other names as jack got to bed at noon, in various betwixt and between states: flower about to open, flowering finished but seed-head not yet ripe and open, and seed-head almost gone.
This year’s West Park cygnets, now growing larger, here feeding on poolside algae along with their parents.
A blue-tailed damselfly resting on the ground at the RSPB Mimsmere Reserve.
Green-veined white butterfly resting on an ivy leaf. Because the wings are closed, the darker patterns along the veins can be seen, and a definite identification of the species made.
Footprints from one of the smaller deer species, left in deep mud at the edge of a quiet Suffolk lane, which was passing through a lightly wooded area.
