Thanks, B. We could do with a few more butterflies if you have any to spare?😊
Captain Sundial! If they were on a pub crawl along the Wellingborough Road, they could've been white-legged and red-eyed damsels. Emperors or Southern Hawkers would be my guess. Stay safe.
Some astonishing sightings...
Thank you, Caroline. The island of Hoy is Orkney's wildest place, I would say, apart from maybe a 40 mile trip to Sule Skerry lighthouse.
