Quarrying Butterflies
My daughter has been asking to see what the quarry looks like since the end of last summer, and I've been waiting for a bit of good weather for us both to walk there. This morning we walked there and enjoyed seeing lots of butterflies, including good numbers of Common Blue, and the odd Speckled Wood on the woodland walk there. She has taken a few decent photos on her digital camera ready to go in her Nature Diary. We walked to the very back of the quarry to admire the view, which she was very impressed by. She saw her first Green Woodpecker - two in fact - and a pair of Linnet, but wasn't quite fast enough to catch the shy pink birds (Jay).
