5 Spot Burnet moth (Wild Lydney)

And, what's that sitting on a thistle three buds down?
There are loads of the Five Spot Burnets, it must be a good year!

More Orchids

That I do believe, is a Common Spotted-Orchid
And, the Bee Orchid

Bee Orchid (close up) - Wild Lydney

The Bee Orchid, it's rather small. Taken with a macro lens. I will try and get the real images.

Black-tailed Skimmer (Speech House Woodlands)

I'm not sure about this one, probably easy to anyone else. Please tell me?

Red Kite (Gloucestershire)

This is my favourite of all birds of prey. They are awesome! They have strengthened their position in the range of distance and breeding places. Let's hope that our children can see them.
