Brimstone butterflies and a dead Badger!

At the station this morning there were at least two Brimstone butterflies patrolling the disused platform. Further up the track towards the arches was a dead Badger on the tracks. It seems unlikely it was run over by a train as trains do not reach any great speed here yet I can think of no other reason. Very sad.

Nearby there was a huge patch of Thale Cress near some of the industrial units in Station Road. This modest weed has the claim to fame of being the first plant to have its genome fully sequenced.
