    Here’s a few photos from our Garden, Denso Marston Nature Reserve & up to Buck Lane footbridge and Ben Rhydding Gravel Pits. As usual tap on an image to see it in its gallery carousel and then come back to read the words. Just the one photo from our garden. A female Holly Blue butterfly. […]

    Denso & Ben Rhydding GP, May 2023

    I had a quiet stroll along the river at Denso Marston Nature Reserve so I took some photos of flowers and spent some time looking for insects. As usual you can tap on any of the images (except the header image) to view them larger in their gallery carousel. The ring flash on my macro […]

    First trip to DMNR on first May.

    You might have guessed that I quite enjoy a quiet walk along the river at Denso Marston Nature Reserve. My first May visit there was on first May. As usual please tap on an image to see it in its gallery carousel. One of the first things I spotted, other than a couple of Blackbirds […]

    Early April (DMNR, Ben Rhydding & Home)

    It’s been a bit wet and cold today so I haven’t been out with my camera which has given me chance to catch up with the photos I already have. Yesterday I took my camera into the garden wondering if I would see anything interesting – butterflies, Blackcap, interesting insects, or perhaps a Siskin again […]

    Field Maple and Beetles at DMNR

    Today I went down to Denso Marston Nature Reserve again to get a firm ID on a tree that I thought was a Field Maple but was, sort of, hoping was an Alder. Steve confirmed that it was a Field Maple (Acer campestre) This then makes me question the ID of the beetles found on […]

    DMNR, 25 & 26 March

    I managed to get a few nice sightings at Denso Marston Nature Reserve over the weekend. A Chiffchaff was slowly circling its area and calling so I sat down for a while and waited for it to come round and show itself. As usual click on an image to see it in the gallery carousel. […]
