1st April |
A trip to the Steeple - a new part for me.
Hot and dry. |
Two shots of the flower of the Bilberry - Vaccinium myrtillus. The bank was covered with plants and shimmered an orange-pink - beautiful.
|
And two shots of Pond Skaters - Gerris lacustris. The close-up shows that they are fully winged, and the front pair of legs (which are used for catching other water insects) are well separated from the other pairs of legs.
|
And lastly, a close-up of Wood Sorrel - Oxalis acetosella. These covered the floor of this part of the woodland. Flower about 12mm across. |
