    No orchids here yet (beautiful by the way) but lots of Lady's Smock (Cuckoo flower)

    And I'm not sure of the ID here but think it might be the Caterpillar of the Drinker moth which is apt as I was nursing a small hangover while walking the fields this morning :P

    A few months ago I was asked by a Wales based artist for rights to do a painting based on my Heron with Trout picture, which I posted here in the past. I have received an update...it is coming together nicely

    Nearly accidentally trod on these two with my size 10 hiking boots yesterday up in the Wicklow Mountains. Male and female Emperor Moths doing their thing!
