Wandering over Burnmoor Fell today (not lonely as a cloud), but there was nobody else around

I'd say Red Underwing, they're pretty common in East Anglia.

Just had one fly into my kitchen through the open back door. They're big enough that I thought it was a bat on first seeing it while wearing my reading glasses 😵‍💫

A few seals in the bay taken from the docks of our local marina. It is unfortunate the one of seal eating a crab came out a bit unfocused, but I had to include it.

Hi.
Myself and my wife were doing some gardening when she spotted this poor Brown Hawker Dragonfly being digested by a big brown spider.
I rushed inside and grabbed a camera, the result you can see.
Looking at the spiders web the poor dragonfly put up a fair struggle before being subdued by the spider.
Spider could be a Cross Orb Spider.
Not a nice way to go being digested through your head!
Joe.

Saw the biggest bobcat yet on my way home the other day. I thought a dog was running across the street on my way home as I lightly tapped the breaks to give him room, it made it safely to an empty felid, I attempted to get a picture but he wasn’t waiting for me but he was barrel chested, pure muscle and about the size of a medium dog. I guess all the ones I’ve been seeing that are more house cat sized were young fellows.
I should have known by the way it ran it was in the cat family but the size threw me off. Since I didn’t get a picture here is a plant I saw on the weekend.
