Braslou Circular Walk Photo Log

A photo log of a circular walk which we have done before but today, when Susan and Simon came to collect some strawberry plants, we went again and saw some unusual sights en route..

Evidence of badgers..

The caterpillars of Lady Granville Fritillary Butterfly.  This was a welcome sight as in recent years they have been in decline. To read more about them see here.  

The second photo clearly shows their protective nest from which they have emerged...

The beautifully scented flowers of Winter Sweet...

These holes, the size of a one pence piece, in the side of a sand quarry, are probably the homes of Solitary Bees... 

Here this fantastically delicate lichen has the first shoots of sorrel growing through it...

The verges are full of cowslips now. We think this oddity to be a hybrid..

And the grand finale was a look round a road side still with work in progress! Photos (sadly) were strictly forbidden!!
