A few days away.

We have just returned from a few nights away staying at Challan Hall in Silverdale which is just a few minutes from Leighton Moss.  We visited Gaitbarrows Nature Reserve which is a wonderful place to walk but just wish we had visited a few weeks earlier as a lot of the summer butterflies were no longer around.  We did however still manage to see what was probably one of the last High Brown Fritillary left this year.  The Green Woodpeckers around Challan Hall were very nosiy!!
