Fly and Flower

Another shot from my walk on Clifton Ings with Katharine on Tuesday.

This flower is a Common Knapweed. It is a thistle-like plant that can be found on all kinds of grasslands, from roadside verges to woodland rides, clifftops to lawns. It is in bloom from June to September and is a huge favourite of all kinds of butterflies, including Common blues, Marbled whites and Meadow browns.

There are a number of clusters of this flower along the flood bank on the east side of the Ings.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and fav, they are very much appreciated.

It is so nice to have places close to home where we can walk. I haven't been more than three miles from home in the past four months. I'm looking forward to travelling further when the rules on public transpost are relaxed, but in the meantime there is still much to see in our local area.
