What a difference!

 What a difference a day makes in England! From glorious sunshine yesterday to a misty, murky morning. There were times this morning that I could have thought I was on holiday on a wild, windswept moor.  Although it was breezy and the fog rolled across the heather, there was an eerie stillness as a buzzard flew past my right ear. The bracken is beginning to turn in places, but it certainly wasn't cold.

I didn't take a camera but my most exciting spot of the morning was a brilliantly coloured Dor Beetle on what I assume was fox dung. 

These beetles are such an important part of the ecosystem but they often go unnoticed. This one had beautiful, bright blue-violet legs.  At least on a foggy day there is little point in admiring the view so it is a good day to look down at your feet.
