I walked out - just a very short distance - to
Bowerhill drop off the post earlier today. A fine, crisp, frost bedecked trip; here is a selection of the pictures as these articles have got very technical of late!

This isn't the time of year I would expect to find a butterfly... but I did... and some more things to picture.
