Butterfly 14: Red Admiral
Today we went for a walk in Lathkill Dale in the White Peak. It's been a while since I've been in the White Peak area, as I do most of my exploring either in the city itself (Sheffield, that is), or the Dark Peak, which is very easily accessible from where I live, or in South Yorkshire. My friend Jackie would agree I'm sure, that this is a relational diagram. If you don't know what that is, perhaps it's a subject for another blip. Anyway, the White Peak is wonderful at this time of year: full of the most beautiful flowers, like an enormous rockery, and of course, beautiful plants attract butterflies so I was confident that Number 14 would make itself known to me before the walk was over. And here it is.
Another highlight of the walk was a juvenile dipper quite close at hand, but in a dark wooded spot so my photos were a bit disappointing.
On the way home, we called in at Chatsworth Farm Shop, where all kinds of delectable goodies are on sale. Lots of treats duly bought.
