Common Spotted Orchid (Dactylorhiza fuchsii)
This handsome (and definitely wild) specimen suddenly appeared in our back garden! Not its usual habitat, which would normally be open woods, meadows, fens, marshes and scrubland.

Storm clouds over Nottingham
Torrential rain, thunder and lightning have just passed over Nuthall, heading towards the city centre for the second day running. One of the main shopping centres, the Broadmarsh, had to be closed the previous day because of flooding.

Timewarp
Not the usual vehicle on this bus route! The driver told us it is a 50 year old replica of a 1910 bus, and it will be giving tours around the centre of Nottingham this summer.

Silver Y moth (Autographa gamma) on buddleia
A regular early summer migrant from Europe which often comes north in enormous swarms and multiplies rapidly. Named for the silvery white Y shaped marking on the upper forewings. Both day and night flying, and abundant in Britain in the autumn, but cannot overwinter here. The picture was taken at dusk and there were between 20 and 30 of these moths hovering at the buddleia flowers. They seldom settled and behaved like tiny humming birds sucking out the nectar. Flash had to be used to provide sufficient light and to freeze the action!

Sunset over Nuthall
Nothing unusual about this picture, you might think, but in fact it is taken facing SE while the sun was setting in the opposite direction.
