Beautiful Demoiselle Damselfly and Red Admiral, Silver-washed Fritillary and Green-veined White Butterflies - all seen today in Bishops Wood near Wadebridge #Cornwall #butterfly #damselfly
The NHS was founded 78 years ago today. It was built after the devastation of the Second World War when the country was bankrupt - but when the people demanded a society built on fairness and dignity for all. Today, we must defend the right to healthcare and rebuild our social security system.
A couple of butterflies in Bishops Wood near Wadebridge, Cornwall: a Speckled Wood and a High Brown Fritillary (I think - there are so many fritillaries, all very similar) #Cornwall #butterfly
Louden Hill circle: The Louden 'tri-stone' - was this set up to reference Rough Tor in the background? Several other Bodmin circles within sight of Rough Tor have similar shaped stones. Not too much remains to be seen at first of this circle but 21 stones do remain, mostly flattened or stumps.
The only stone of the Louden Hill circle still standing, now leaning outwards at an angle of about 45°. Rough Tor is in the background. #Cornwall
Middle Moor Cross - an ancient Cornish wayside cross on Bodmin Moor next to a track leading to the Louden and Fernacre stone circles. Rough Tor is in the background.
Peregrine Falcon on the cliffs at Carnewas Point, Cornwall. I think this one is a juvenile as it doesn't yet have a yellow eye-ring and cere (patch of skin by the beak). It was joined by another and they started chasing each other above the cliffs.
On a clifftop close to Boscastle is the Willapark Lookout. Built in the 1800s local gossip has it that these walls have some tales to tell . . . #Cornwall #Kernow cornishbirdblog.com/the-history-...
