As the title says, here’s some more pics (from our walk along the Bure on 22nd June 2026) Enjoy

The riverside path takes us behind various properties, residential, commercial, and eventually the park. Mostly we have wayside flowers 🔼 Hedgerow flowers: Bramble and Bindweed 🔽 Poppies rooted close to the wall

🔽 Not a flower! He’s an Oystercatcher. They nest in the adjacent grassland

🔼 More often seen on arable land, but here its flourishing on a building site 🔽 While I love to see the wild red poppy, the showy graden escapees are thoroughly accepted

🔽 The wind was tossing these poppies around!

🔼 There are always ducks on this pond. But usually in summer there are only mallards. Yet here we have a female mallard and a male pochard. What you might call an odd couple! 🔽 A couple of mallard ducklings. There were more, but difficult to see, hidden in the reeds

🔼 I got a fix on the pochard. I clicked. The pochard dived. The water splashed. 🔽 I’d call this a rush. Google Images calls it Sea Club Rush. Yep, I’ll accept that

Butterflies. They were about. But they weren’t very obliging

🔼 Painted Lady, which currently are everywhere 🔽 Gatekeeper only just visible and not in focus, but that’s the best I could do!

They’re everywhere. They invaded my garden when the cistus was in full flower. I tried to get them all in one shot but not possible, of course. I managed 3 on a valerian plant

To catch you some oysters? They live mostly on worms!

There were so many poppies. Both the wild ones, and the cultivated. Love to see them, my picture folder fills with wild roses and poppies at this season
