LEIGHTON MOSS DRAGONFLIES.

I visited Leighton Moss last week it was a fine sunny day but the birds were few an far between,at the Eric Morecambe  hide a couple of kingfisher were seen at distance,while lapwing,black tailed godwits and 1 greenshank were on the pools.The public hide was busy with people but the few birds showing were all at distance,marsh harrier,water rail,pochard,and a few coots.I kept myself entertained trying to capture images of the migrant hawker dragonfly as it flew past the hide.I've posted a few of my efforts below.

Highlights from Rossall.

These images are over three trips to Rossall from august to early september during the high tides.I can't get enough of Rossall at the moment and I've plenty more images to go through and another post will be on it's way very soon.In the mean time a few of my favorite images have been posted below for your enjoyment.

PAINTED LADY BUTTERFLY.

After my last post saying butterflies were few and far between this year the last butterfly  I expected to see was a Painted Lady.I couldn't believe my eyes when returning home on sunday afternoon there was a Painted Lady in the garden feeding on tall verbena. I managed to capture a few images and have posted a few of my better efforts below.

Hoverflies,Butterflies and Bee's.

I'ts been a very poor year for butterflies in this part of the country and its only recently that one or two have appeared in the garden. I managed a couple of hours one afternoon with the camera in the garden and have posted a few of my efforts below.
