A cool dull morning was followed by a warm sunny afternoon.  Both flowers and insects appreciated the change.

In the Scrapes Greater Spearwort is in flower making a beautiful splash of colour across the ponds.

Contrasting the yellow is the white fluffy heads of Cotton Grass.

Another colour seen in the Scrapes is pink.  This is Ragged Robin, which really lives up to its name after rain.

And finally a flash of bright blue is one of the damselflies hunting for insects across the ponds.
