Swaledale

As I broke my journey back from Northumberland at Scotch Corner last night, I decided to make a quick visit to Swaledale - Gunnerside and Muker - before continuing back to Cambridge. The fields were full of buttercups and other meadow flowers. By the river,  I witnessed a strange battle between three Common Sandpipers. Lots of Mayflies had emerged leaving empty larval cases on the stones. I think it is a Tree Pipit that was busy collecting food and bringing back to the nest.
