Antidepressants everywhere :)

I was at Cambois near the site of former Blyth power station this afternoon. The sun was shining and there was St John's Wort as far as the eye can see. I was one the hunt for Treble-bar moth (Aplocera plagiata) and The Grayling butterfly (Hipparchia semele) with Tom Tams and Steve.

Here's how we got on:

Treble-bar Moth

According to research in the  British Medical Journal (Volume 331, pp 1221-2), connecting with nature can improve your health and wellbeing. The theory is known as ecotherapy: restoring health through contact with nature.

Well I never!
