Walked up to Greenside reservoir this afternoon. Still bright, but light grey coverage and a bit of a cool breeze, felt like rain on its way. First fritillary I’ve photographed this year. there were a few feeding on Fox & Cubs, colour match meant I nearly missed them.

@johnjohnston Gorgeous scenerary, John. Had to look up "fritillary"

@johnjohnston those are amazing! I had a bird encounter this morning walking to work. Right on the road I walk on was an eagle and a crow devouring a couple donuts that had been dropped.

@johnjohnston Lovely shots.

@Miraz 🙏 thanks

@dwalbert goldfinches here. Though I like Thistlefinch! They love thistle seeds.

@johnjohnston Great shots!

@cliff538 thanks. Was our last bright day for a while after several sunny dry weeks.
