A famous spot in past times, immortalised by Burns (in poetry) and Turner (in watercolour). Now just a quiet backwater.
The River Greta just before it meets the River Tees. A more romantic spot would be hard to find.

/ FEATURED IN THE GROUP: Top Shelf Wildlife & Nature / FEATURED IN THE GROUP: Butterflies, Skippers, Moths, & Other Winged Insects The common English name for this remarkable butterfly is glasswing, which in itself speaks volumes about the appearance of this small but unusual insect. However, it takes the romance languages to step in and give the butterfly the name which, for many, suits it best. The Spanish name for the glasswing is ‘espejitos’. Literally translated, this means ‘little mirrors’. Just a glance at the insect in question and one can imagine the thrill of pleasure when the moment of inspiration that came to its Hispanic name giver. If you want to see ‘little mirrors’ in the wild, however, you will have to take a trip – anywhere from Mexico to Panama in Central America will do the trick. Adults range from Mexico through Panama.G. oto visits common flowers like lantana, but prefers to lay its eggs on plants of the tropical nightshade genus Cestrum The red and purple striped caterpillars feed on these toxic plants and store the alkaloids in their tissues, making them distasteful to predators such as birds. They retain their toxicity in adulthood. The same alkaloids that make them poisonous also are converted into pheromones by the males, which use them to attract females. / G. oto adults also exhibit a number of interesting behaviors, such as long migrations and lekking among males. / Camera: Canon 400D / Lens: Canon Macro 100mm / Location: Butterfly Farm Cape Town South Africa / /
