We took a trip to Fontmell Down, stopped at Compton Abbas Airfield for coffee and cake. There was a few Chalk Hill Blue butterfly and a couple of the Common Blue.
This is the cute, a Chalk Hill Blue who was quite happy to sit on my finger
This is my attempt to get a picture of a headless cow, if you squint at the picture you can just about see that the cow is headless ;-) The markings on this cow is quite unusual.
Not quite sure what this fly is, doen't look pretty, quite large.

Wow! that is unusual markings for the cow Lyn. I t must be a Friesian Cross of some kind.
Oops! suppose to call Friesian, Holsteins nowadays, can't get use to that.
This lovely post of yours brought a smile to my face Linda. Thank you! I reckon 'cute' covers the Chalkhill Blue image perfectly. I love your 'headless cow'. I'm wondering if your fly is a hoverfly species?

Thankyou Roy and Richard. The fly, Richard, I think is a type of fly from what I have found (Tachina grossa) not a particularly nice one, its larvae are internal parasites of the caterpillars of various large moths.
