Thanks Ron - it's a wonderful place in a bit of decent weather. The problem I had was trying to photograph small plants in strong winds. A bit of patience works wonders sometimes.

you know whats coming

It was right next to the car

great shots of the Moss Campion - this is one I want to see
Thanks KT - its often the case, the first time I ever saw a corncrake was after 5 hours traipsing around looking for it with no luck and then when we got back to the camper van we were in it was stood on a rock no more than 10 feet away calling.
