Gently down the stream

By Miranda1008

Going out in style

I had a lovely day with the dear folk of Butterfly Conservation.  We went to Beacon Hill, looking for silver spotted skippers and clouded yellows and saw neither.  Just meadow browns, brown argus, blues and whites, a hare and about 12 partridges. However it's a stunning place with enormous hills and valleys and the wildflowers are still incredible.

The above collage shows (L to R):
Devilsbit Scabious - Succisa pratensis
A rather floppy stem of Eyebright - Euphrasia officinalis
Against the sky and the far hills, Rosebay Willowherb - Epilobium augustifolium
And the last orchid of the year, Autumn Lady's Tresses - Spiranthes spiralis
And in Extras is a shot of a farmhouse right down in the valley.

Now, results of the last WildFlowerWeek of the year (WFW23_21):
