We had a trip to Somerset this weekend to finally find a Large Blue butterfly. There were a good number at Collard Hill, including a pair mating, which were the only ones that cooperated for the cameras (blue pictures indeed). There was a selection of orchids there too, including a Wasp Orchid, a variant of the much more common Bee Orchid.
At Ham Wall and Shapwick Heath nature reserves Great White Egrets were all over the place and at least one Bittern was booming and another eventually showed itself.
