Had a short walk by Jaw Reservoir, yesterday. Quite a few butterflies about. These posed. A lot of ringlets, a few whites and a red admiral did not oblige.

Speckled Wood Saw one of these this afternoon in Christine & Michael’s garden. I scared it off before I could get a photo. Lovely, the first I’ve seen although they seem to be common.

Banton Biggies

Levers

Last week as a #MakerSpaceNL warm up the Biggies explored levers. They made some simple examples of different combinations of leaver to show different types of movement. They then added a wee bit of creativity into the mix.
