Star Lane Pits revisited

Had a good explore over Star Lane Pits today. Birds included Kestrel, house Martin, Reed Warblers, Whitethroat, Cetti's Warbler, a Green Woodpecker and 3 swallows. There were lots of Holly Blue butterflies (above), a couple of Speckled Wood, common Blue and Blue-Tailed Damselfly were abundant. Also seen were a Common Lizard, a single Bee Orchid (that I couldn't resist photographing despite blogging an identical photo last year). Other photos are a Carder Bee and view of Yellow Flag Iris and blooming Water Lily on the main public lake.
