A close up shot of the stamen on a Dogrose. Taken in Little Bardfield, Essex.
Dashed out after dinner this evening to catch the sunset. It’s nearly the longest day so, even I , didn’t manage to miss it today. This is a shot from the top of a hill on the edge of Thaxted with the windmill and church easily visible.
This may or may not be a winter damselfly – its colours are right but it could just be an immature damselfly of another variety. It was seen on the River Pant at Little Bardfield.
Apologies for the less than regular updates recently – don’t forget you can keep up with me on my 366 Project as well as here. Today I was in Little Bardfield looking for bugs, and I found loads – I suspect you’ll be seeing a few here over the next
I spent a couple of hours in Little Bardfield by the river tracking down bugs…I found loads 😉 This is a damselfly, it looks like a winter damselfly but these are very rare over here so I am assuming it is, in fact, an immature different species…you’ll have gathered, I’m
We took a walk we have done a few times before around Rickling Green today. Despite all the dire warnings of horrendous weather we managed to avoid the rain until the drive home.
There were 2 quite magnificent weeping willow trees around Doctors Pond a few years ago. Then, this one was (possibly for good reason) cut right back to the trunk…it’s clearly a fighter though and it’s definitely making a come back.

Well, OK, it’s not actually called Sunbeam Lane ;-). This is Cooks Lane in Little Bardfield from yesterday. A very pleasant area to walk around, especially if you like bugs and birds. We saw butterflys, damselflys, mayflys, herons, lots of finches and plenty of swallows.
After a large downpour this evening we were treated to a very pleasant sunset including great dollops of mist rolling down the surrounding hills.
