Did I mention there was a Lesser Emperor at on Friday? Showing very nicely right in front of the cafe. I recommend the lemon drizzle cake.

Time for a photo. This is Brown Hawker which had been laying eggs and had just taken off. The first time I've managed to get a photo of this species in flight. At on Friday while I waited for the Lesser Emperor to show.

A sort-of lifer: I'll have seen it loads of times without realising it was Western Gorse instead of the common species. At the reserve on Monday.

Greater Knapweed. Finally found this species in - I've looked at any number of knapweeds with ray florets which turned out to be the rayed form of either Common or Lesser. At , a local reserve.

Long-term followers may have noticed that I'm rather fond of thistles. This one is Welted Thistle, at reserve during the week.

It isn't truly high summer until I've seen my first White Admiral, which is my favourite by quite a distance. I can confirm that as of yesterday it is now high summer. This one at the reserve Woods.

Its always a red letter day when I see Goatsbeard in flower. Not that it's at all rare, just that it only flowers in the morning, closing up after just one morning per flower, and I'm really not a morning person. At

on Wednesday.

Nothing rare at the reserve at today, unless you count the Downy Emerald dragonfly that refused to pose for a photo, but several plants that were worth a close-up. Goosegrass, aka Cleavers (the fruits are very familiar, the flowers less so), Hedge Mustard, Silverweed and Cut-leaved Cranesbill.
