A good day for kite flying!

A light NW wind all day with plenty of warm sunshine.

I had little time today so just managed two short walks (MD)

It was the Kite Festival at Morecambe today and the weather couldn't have been better. Warm and sunny and a steady onshore light wind. From my prospective, the skear was the ideal place to view it from (nice and quiet and some wildlife). In this clip the Mediterranean gull is centre foreground with the Kite Festival behind, I couldn't  resist continuing the pan to end with Ingleborough in the background.

Sometimes, when you can't get out to see nature, you have to rely on nature coming to see you. This Brimstone moth was resting in the shade just outside my back door.
