RPS Nature Trip to Norfolk Heathland

The Silver-studded Blues appear to be coming to the end of their season at least 2 weeks earlier than last year though we did find a few fairly newly emarged butterflies. There were plenty of other insects and spiders to photograph.

Buxton Last sunlight and Night Images

We were staying in Buxton on Saturday night and drove across from the PAGB finals in Chorley just in time to get the last of the sunshine on the autumn trees just outside the town. We then spent an hour taking images in the Gardens as the light went completely from the sky and finally it was dark and clear enough for a myriad of stars. 

Poole Cavern Buxton

 A very wet day here so seemed a good day to visit Poole's Cavern in Buxton. Poole's Cavern is a 2 million year old, natural limestone cave on the edge of Buxton. It was opened to the public in 1853 and today is owned by the Buxton Civic Association.
