Bradford Dale, Tuesday 18th July 2006

We had wall to wall sunny weather and record-breaking temperatures for this evening stroll (quite a slow stroll) in beautiful Bradford Dale. John Doornkamp led by example, carrying and using his full-size tripod, but not many members followed suit. The highlight of the evening for me was when we rescued a newly-fledged swallow that was on the ground and in danger from passing dogs.

Gathering at Alport on the hot summer evening	John Doornkamp introducing the area	Walking beside the river Bradford
Butterfly on Knapweed	Taking pictures of ...	... the old bridge
The river	Cattle get very thirsty in this weather	A newly-fledged house martin which we launched safely on its way
John Doornkamp at work	Looking back down the valley	Strolling back
A large moth on a thistle	Late sun on the trees	Plant identification can be difficult sometimes
