Sunshine

Saturday, June 25th 2011

The moorland, from being very wet and looking sorry for itself yesterday, gave a beautiful display of flowers and grasses in the afternoon sunshine.

In the damper areas of the moor the Ragged Robin was blowing in the wind.

Damselflies, butterflies, moths and many other insects were on the wing, enjoying the warm sunshine. Bees were searching the flowers for nectar.

Other insects used the flowers as resting or sunbathing places.
