As Weed and I meandered our way towards Welland Bank Pits (or, to give it its official Wildlife Trust title, Deeping Lakes) at 7am this morning, it was looking a bit grim. Thick fog from just outside Crowland and along the River Welland. But, as we turned the corner towards WBP, it had all lifted perfectly, leaving a beautiful sunny, warm morning behind, a Barn Owl hunting the riverbank and some nice dew on the spiders' webs (or as they say in Peterborough, doo).
Mute Swan. Did a bit of digiscoping. White birds are very hard to photograph, even when they're this close and there's not much heat haze.
Joined up with Josh Jones - who told us we'd just missed a Grey Plover flying over! - at Baston & Langtoft GP and made our way to Grummit's Scrape. Nicholas Watts' wildflower planting was doing the trick and this Small Copper was among many insects feeding.
