Juvenile Herring Gull at Lydney boating lake.

It was hot today, for some it was mediocre. But, I felt it, I couldn't stay out about 4 hours, so photos will have to wait, except the little juvenile Herring Gull.

Question: What happened to the Painted Lady butterflies?

More Ringlets at Nagshead RSPB

I know, I've just made one of Ringlets, but I couldn't let these two go.

Holly Blue butterfly (Lydney, the Marshes)

The Holly Blue, that leaves it's eggs in a holly bush/tree. It was a bit strange, as it flies April-May and August-September. But not in July, or so my books say.

Broad-bodied Chaser (The marshes, Lydney)

A lovely Dragonfly.

The Black-headed Gulls are coming home.....

The B-H Gulls are finished with the sea, now it is time to lose their mantles, not for a while anyway. Every day I have a look at the lake in Lydney, for anything good, and found them there.
