Paxton Pits RPS Nature Group Outing

The weather was disappointing for our trip to Paxton to find signs of spring yesterday - cold and mainly grey. However, we did manage to find a few insects including my first damselfly of the year.

Harwick Wood Spring

With recent colder spell, there is a great variety of Spring flowers in and around Hardwick Wood at the moment with the Garlic and Bluebells just coming out but Oxlips and Wood Anemones still in bloom. I was accompanied in the Wood by various birds.

Crete Extras - Frangokastello Area

 The roads west of Plakias en route for the Imbros Gorge passed through some great scenery around Frangokastello and gave us some new sightings - two new Bee flies, a well camouflaged grasshopper, Small Copper and, among other birds, Crested Larks and a Pallid Harrier (very distant).

Orchids in Crete

This is an attempt to collate and share the orchid images that I took during a recent week in Crete. I am not certain of one or two IDs but hopefully their beauty and variety can be appreciated - a wonderful experience.
