A few miles away there are abandoned copper mines which have been in use since Roman times. Now there is a very large hole and modern mining happens half a mile away with winding gear to go down to the deep tunnels. the old excavations are gorgeous colours and some pits are full of water of a very unlikely and unsavoury colour. Not much grows. Some very scrubby Heather and that is it. A photographer,s happy hour though and I met another enthusiast on our walk.
We went early and were back before the sun got too hot. Have I said we are having a heatwave here? Not what I was expecting. We went out again in the evening to a nature reserve saw some very cross terns looking after their chicks.
And yet another macro photo. This moth is about half an inch wingtip to wingtip.
