Arrived at Big Waters on Sunday about 10 minutes late so decided to just wander round concentrating on ground level for a change so here are a few pictures from the 2 hours I spent in complete solitude. If there is no name against them and you know them please let me know

Red-headed Cardinal Beetle - Pyrochroa serraticornis

 Silver-ground Carpet - Xanthorhoe montanata

 Red Admiral - Vanessa atalanta
