I've been away all week, camping in the Yorkshire Dales so I'm behind here and haven't been able to view or comment on your photos and now I'm back home but have lots of catching up to do!
I managed to squeeze in my wood mouse photo on Sunday evening during a brief stop with the laptop amongst civilisation, but aside from that haven't had internet access or even phone signal for most of the days. I'll try to catch up here at some point.
Superb blog as always. Lovely photos and interesting to walk with you. I was interested to see the spotted orchids. I love the sway and sound of the rippling grasses but I never seem to be able to capture it, like your shot of these.
