I delayed the RPS Nature group outing from last Saturday with hurricane Kathleen threatened to yesterday when the forecast was for sun and light breeze at the time of choosing. It was actually overcast for much of the day and very breezy but still great to be up on the Heath with the Pasque flowers now out in their thousands (see final images). I decided on a bit of backlighting and concentrating on the various stages in the Pasque flower life from bud to seed head. We were lucky to have two insect models - an Angle Shades moth and a Small Bloody-nosed Beetle. The numbers of flowers is very impressive - probably rivalling 2013 (see here)
