Heron with a patch on a narrow arm of Tillington Pool, Doxey Marshes. Here standing at the edge of the water by the far shore, seeming unconcerned at my presence on the footpath on the opposite bank.
The hot weather in Easter week was accompanied by several species of butterflies present in greater numbers than in recent years. This was the first small tortoiseshell butterfly I noticed this year, resting on grass leaf.
