I took this pic over our field. I've no idea what the plant is but there is a big clump of it next to the footpath alongside the farmers crop of wheat. It has big oval leaves with these pinky purple pendulum flowers. The bees, flies, hoppers, butterflies and beetles seem to love it. This is a weed I wouldn't mind having in my garden. :-))))
Now this is what I call tree hugging.

A Marbled White with a parasitic red mite attached to its thorax, which apparently doesn't do any harm to the butterfly!
A female Redstart in woodland beneath the Betws mountain, Amman valley.
I saw the first Redstart (male) on April 21st so it was lovely to visit my favourite Redstart spot yesterday and see one male plus at least two, possibly three females.
The male seemed disinterested in the females but the females were chasing each other about relentlessly! Is there a reason for this anyone?
CONFUSED?
Mr. and Mrs. Robin are nest building already!

Middle of winter...unbelievable.
I'll keep you posted.

Black Paws was an orphaned fox I helped feed and she has now moved to her own territory.
Turned out nice again. :@)

As the light faded on the Scottish cliffs the last of the sun moved behind the beautiful beak and lit it up like a lantern..
Razorbill in flight over the North Sea at Bempton Cliffs.
We spent a lovely day at Bempton Cliffs yesterday. The weather was kind to us - after the morning, which was initially a little grey, the sun came out just before noon and the winds were fairly light.
These Razorbills are a bit tricky to capture in flight, as they are very fast!
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.
I took this photo of a Dotterel last September, they migrate from North Africa to their breeding grounds in the Scottish Highlands. One of their stop off points for 'refuelling' is the Black mountain in the Breacon Beacons. Springwatch presenter Iolo Williams actually recorded one of his TV shows about Dotterel on the very same mountain. Sadly I have not been able to see any Dotterel migrating this year during the Spring or on their return this Autumn. I hope it's not a sign of things to come and hope next year will be better.
