Pohick Bay Regional Park



On our way to Richmond this afternoon, we called into this park - lured by the fact that it is said to have resident bald eagles.  The bay links into the Potomac River.



They were not in evidence today, just this Osprey, soaring on the thermals.



It was a very hot afternoon (33C) and there was no-one around.  Not even any staff at the boat hire place.



We set off in the shade of the woods for a short walk and came across this tiny chap - less than an inch long..



There was also some evidence of termites in some of the trees..





At the boat ramp, all was quiet except for the fire and rescue boat..



David photographed a large dragonfly..



And a Tiger Swallowtail butterfly..
