Butterflies and Dragons

Again no sign of the Osprey at Derwent Reservoir, but there were several Cuckoo and Tree Pipit above Blanchland.

Very quiet for birds around Gateshead, but plenty of insects out in the sun. At Kibblesworth Brick Works there were Four-spotted Chaser, Azure and Large Red Damselfly, Dingy Skipper and Wall.
