Poppies

The long awaited return to Lunt Meadows was a bit disappointing today. The reserve has been closed for months whilst they repaired the burst bank of the river Alt that caused the whole area to be flooded. I think it has had a massive effect on the flora and fauna. This morning on my FB memories, a visit from last year popped up with lots of birds, chicks, butterflies and insects, but this year they were very few and far between. I did spy this tiny patch of poppies as we drove into the site so went back to photograph it. It’s a shame there weren’t any more. 
This afternoon we have mainly been channel flicking between the tennis, cricket and Tour de France. Can’t believe Mark Cavendish won another stage! That record is not so far away now…
