Denso & Ben Rhydding GP, May 2023

Gravel Pits on Saturday
Another walk around Ben Rhydding Gravel Pits. This time without the chilling wind from the North East. Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler, Dunnock, Robin, Blackbird and Blackcap could be heard. Also several others that I could not recognise. Arachnophobes – there is a Harvestman photo lower down. Tap on an image to see it in its gallery…

Ben Rhydding Gravel Pits Early May 2023

July 2022
During July I took my camera out with me a few times and also into our garden. I had trips to Denso Marston Nature Reserve, Ben Rhydding Gravel Pits, and Shipley Glen (no Purple Hairstreak spotted). As usual you can click on an image to see it within its own gallery. I could look back…
