The Grasshopper Warbler was the personal highlight despite, typically, not being seen. Just a few bursts of song in the morning.
Enough. A few non-birdy photos for amusement before I get the rest of the details ready.
Not an everyday sight - a steam engine. This one is owned by a local steam enthusiast. Occasionally they get them out in the fields in autumn to do a bit of ploughing, which involves one engine at each side of the field pulling the plough on a wire back and forth.
An Orange Tip butterfly. Damn difficult things to photo, or at least for someone with my pitiful patience. When they do rest they usually do so with closed wings. Double bonus!
Small Copper walking on bird poo. Erm. Delightful little butterflies, and not at all common locally. This one was in a spot I've never seen them in before near the houses in Little Kelk.
Not the most popular farmland mammal but aaah you have to admire their cuteness. These two were happily hopping around in a gateway at Foston.
More later...

Well done getting a good picture of an Orange Tip. I've been trying to get a decent photo of one for a few years now but the darn things never seem to settle for more than a few seconds.
Thanks. I just got lucky as it dropped down right in front of me just long enough to reel off a couple of shots. Result!
