Steam trains, Santa's, a touch of blue and gorse and golden leaves at the docks this day last year
#JoinMeOnMyWalk with a #throwback to 8th December last year and a wander at #PrestonDocks with a Santa dash in progress for St Catherine's hospice, I believe it happened yesterday again, great way to spread joy & raise cash for a great cause. @photohour.bsky.social #Lancashire

#JoinMeOnMyWalk I wasn't expecting #butterflies today as it was overcast this morning, but on our Riverside walk at #PrestonDocks happily produced more variety that I expected, good for my #BigButterflyCount. #Lancashire @savebutterflies.bsky.social @photohour.bsky.social bigbutteflycount.org
A super fresh small copper
It's a #butterfly day! 😍🤩🎉🦋 Very happy to find #butterflies out and about at #PrestonDocks on the Riverside walk today and this small copper was particularly happy to pose 🧡 @savebutterflies.bsky.social #BigButterflyCount
Golden yellow gorse flowers seen today after the storm in #Lancashire
This beautiful gorse seen at #PrestonDocks today, is my star flower getting its own tweet for #WildflowerHour. It survived #StormDarragh yesterday and I'd never truly seen such a pretty shaped bloom, reminding me of lady's slipper orchids! #wildflower_hour #BSBIbotany #vitaminN
