Beach Walk 22 6 2007 II

The Viper's Bugloss was beautiful in the evening sunshine.

The backlighting here reveals a very distinctive profile.

I was surprised at how orange the dying flowers of the Evening Primrose had become.

I came accross some kind of Alium which looked more like a wierd plant-bee hybrid.

We saw a Cinnabar moth skulking in the undergrowth, Glasswort on the marshes seems to be ever on the increase, and a Skylark flew up from almost under my feet toward the end of the walk. A really super evening. Oh and there are two black rabbits amongst the wild ones on Stanner's Bank.

We saw White and Pink Campion and Sea Holly on the dunes, a small puffball and another nondescript fungus.

Alan tells me there at least 5 black rabbits round there - very unusual!

PS Those bees look like 'Apis Mellifera' the European honey bee - I wonder if they are from our hives at lytham Hall?

Thanks for that Phil - you were quick off the mark there! Hope they are from Lytham Hall.
