Helsby Hill

It threatened blazing sun so we sheltered in the woods and forests around Helsby.

Too busy avoiding nettles to get many pictures. Lots of Foxgloves around and busy adult birds, but not any fledglings yet.

More concerned with keeping cool and in the shade than photographing things. Loads of foxgloves on the path back, though.

Tegg's Nose

Revisiting Tegg's Nose after nearly a year and a half. As usual, a roasting hot, sunny day. We spent a long time on the first descent with lots of rain-drops on the foxgloves, Redstarts and a family of Stoats! We could have stayed there all day.
