Woodwalton Meadow Sat 26 June 2010

I took a trip out to Woodwalton Meadow this morning and it was very rewarding:

#1 and 2. Large Skipper Butterfly.

#3 and 4. Marbled White Butterfly.

#5. Ringlet Butterfly.

#6. Pyramid Orchid.

#7. Funnel web with spider inside, I'm not very well up on spiders but I think it is a Daddy-Long-Legs Spider, as they make this type of Silk Trap and retreat inside it.

My wife and I took a walk along the River Great Ouse from Houghton Mill towards St Ives, the weather was very good, it is a fantastic place to see Banded Demoiselle's and we weren't disappointed.
