Some nature notes from Sutton Bank to Osmotherley

Fruits are ripening: Raspberries and bilberries and wild strawberries
Later summer wild flowers include, harebell, fireweed, foxgloves, knapweed, covers, vetches, yarrow, tansy, scabious, bell flowers,
A good day for Butterflies inspite of the wind.  Various whites are the most numerous. Others seen were Ringlet. Speckled wood. Red admiral, small tortoiseshell, small copper, common heath, and a few small blue ones (suggestions anyone?)
Old larches bent by the wind on the ridge over the years - just like today.
Also rowan with berries. Clouds blowing in, possible rain later. The heather is out on the moors making them purple. In the small valleys shady green ferny gullies alongside tumbling water.
And all that in 13.6 miles!
