White flowering heads
3 stages of Jack go to bed at noon
and a moth in the garden
In recent years I only know of one site locally where this plant can be seen in good numbers. As a child I can remember this plant growing on the damp woodland edge of Ulgham Park but the site has long gone. They used to grow at Felton lane but I haven't seen them here since 1987 and Beaconhill in the early nineties. The above pictures were taken at Mitford castle yesterday.

I hadn't seen any ragged robin for ages, then a lot of it appeared around Tunstall reservoir in Weardale this year. Lovely plant - never seen a white one .....
Superb back lighting on the Ragged Robin - best shot of this flower I've seen.
Mottled Beauty Nige..
Thanks for the comments and the moth id.
Ragged robin does show up on the new road by-passes with wild flower mix but the flowering heads are half the size of the native plants.
