Dist:0.1km<br/>The Grantham Canal is a haven for wildlife. The blackberry bushes along the tow path were alive with insects of all sorts. Here is a Comma, Polygonia c-album, a unique butterfly with scalloped shaped wings of beautiful rich browns and oranges on the upperside and intricate patterning on the underwing. See [[625643]] and [[625624]]. All these photographs were taken within a few yards of each other.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Langar Bridge, No 43, over the Grantham Canal: not a lot of headroom for prospective canal traffic. This bridge would have to be rebuilt if the canal was to become fully navigable again. See http://www.granthamcanal.com/ for more information.

Dist:0.2km<br/>By the Grantham Canal there were lots of these dragonflies flitting about and hovering over the water. This species is found mainly near still water, such as canals and large ponds, but often seen away from water, in lanes, woodland clearings and gardens. The hawker dragonfly spends most of its time on the wing feeds on other insects which it captures in mid-air with its spiny legs. See [[625624]] and [[625635]]. All these photographs were taken within a few yards of each other.
