A few arty shots from Saturday’s trip to Malham Tarn. After a 4am start in search of a sunrise/star-gazing combo, I timed it wrong by about 30 minutes! 🤦♂️ Still an amazing time of the day to be wandering about North Yorkshire though 😁
So the ‘post-Laxa blues’ were finally put to one side and it was back to the Wharfe for an early start. Plenty of Grayling with red kites, buzzards, kingfishers, Grey wagtails and a Little Egret for company! 😁👌🏻
The news you've all been waiting for! We are extremely excited to announce the launce of the Semperfli ABC, Andy's Bugs & Creatures!
