The Devon Park Variation

Ran through the park instead of along tedious old Hawton Road on my long Hawton-Farndon-River-Home route, and was very glad I did. As I followed the Parkrun route along the river, I spotted a man taking photographs amongst the thistles littering the bank of the River Devon.

"Aha! Something interesting there!" I thought, and as I got nearer, I saw that it was a Sconce Park ranger snapping a comma with his I phone. I spoke to him for a little while, and spotted some other butterflies too. As you can see below!

The aforementioned comma

A first for me - a small copper!
