What I’m reasonably sure is a damselfly investigating a blackberry flower (I’ve now learnt that these insects aren’t pollinators, they’re predators of flies, mosquitos and other small insects)….

….but this one is a pollinator…

…and there was a massive diversity of wildlife while strolling round Brandon Marsh (a Site of Special Scientific Interest and nature reserve).

Technology called a heterodyne bat detector to allow humans to hear ultrasonic bat calls (used on a walk to educate us on bats and their biology)…

…done in the scenic landscape of Compton Verney

A plant for pollinators (I’ve discovered this is something called common ragwort!)

Mum getting thourogh when blackberry searching…

Dogs enjoying themselves in the Warwickshire countryside…

A magnificent old oak tree not far from home…

And a cheerful alpaca willing to pose for a close up in the sunshine!
