I have now caught up with the photos from my little trips out. These are from yesterday afternoon at Denso Marston Nature Reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday at DMNR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These are all in the order in which they were taken. The header image of the Grey Heron was taken just before the last photo of the Dog Rose. It shows nice clear water. The river is very low but looking very clean. Though the water is clean the rubbish is still there – see the first photo below of the Grey Heron next to a great big gas canister and the shopping trolley<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days of warm weather has brought lots of Damselflies out. Large Red Damselflies, Azure Damselflies mating and ovipositing, and male and female Banded Demoiselle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wings of the Peacock and Orange Tip butterflies are starting to look a bit ragged. A butterfly’s wings are formed while it is a pupa and it does not have the ability to regrow\/repair them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dog Rose towards the end of the reserve is flowering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you are using a phone the caption can take up most of the space of the thumbnail so you might find it easier to turn your phone to landscape to open the gallery. I am hoping to change that for the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
