Intermission 24c

2024 has been a bit thin on intermissions so this one is a bit bigger than normal

Well summer is well and truly over.

Insects have been in short supply – I have even missed the wasps
I have seen the moon in interesting settings
Cloud formations invariably with sunsets have been numerous
Summer put in the odd showing-Flamborough head, Yorkshire
The sea washed chalk rock provides an excellent contrast for natures beach detritus
York races had a Japanese star
A palmatum newt – not as fancy as the great crested but common – the only downside is they eat frog spawn so you get one or the other in a pond – the answer of course is to have two ponds…..one for each!
Skipwith common near Selby is the last of open common land undrained left in northern England- it was once very common. The habitat was self managed by wandering flocks of wild cattle. Today they use cattle and sheep.
Some late summer or early autumn colour to finish up.
