Picture of Vicar water Country Park off Mansfield Road, Clipstone, by Richard Gleed-OwenI think I just caught the heather bloom just before it started to fade - I must mark next year's calendar to remind me to take the same view earlier in August with my better camera too.

Reader Gary Hadfield from Sutton composed this picture of a summer’s day at Vicker Water Country park. Gary said: “What what a lovely setting for the historical Clipstone headstocks.”

Another picture of Vicar Water was taken by Chad reader Richard Gleed-Owen. He said: “I think I just caught the heather bloom just before it started to fade - I must mark next year’s calendar to remind me to take the same view earlier in August with my better camera too.”

Chad reader Ken Roberts sent in this picture of a Peacock butterfly taken during July. The Peacock is common across the British Isles with with quite spectacular eyes on the upperside of the hindwings.
