Dist:1.0km<br/>Once an every day sight in the Nottinghamshire coal field these class 20 locomotives used to work in multiple for more power. Used to haul coal trains around the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire coal field this pair have left the depot at Shirebrook and are on the way to Clipstone mine to collect a trainload of coal for the yards at Toton Nr Nottingham. They are approaching Clipstone signal box and will bear right at the junction to take the line past the former Mansfield concentration sidings onwards to Clipstone mine. Once a very busy line now only Thoresby mine survives to generate any rail traffic.

Dist:1.0km<br/>This beautiful little butterfly, whilst still fairly common, is declining in many areas due to intensification of agriculture, reclamation of heathland, increased shadyness of woods and lack of sheep or rabbit grazing on unimproved downs. Male & female are similar in colouring though there is a lot of variation in the size of the black marks on the upperwings.

Dist:1.0km<br/>Female common blues vary in colour from almost entirely blue to dark brown with only a hint of blue close to the body. I was able to get very close to this one as it was basking in the sun. Another picture taken at the same time as [[18299]].
