The summer really arrived in July and Slingsby managed to get a good dose of hot sunny weather over the month.
Rob Racenis has sent in this photo which beautifully shows the weather we’ve been experiencing. The image was taken around the middle of the month along the disused railway track looking towards Caulkleys Bank. It’s a stunning image. Thanks for sending it in Rob.
Do you have a great photograph you’d like to share with us?

Wildlife photography is hard at the best of times, but David Thornley has managed to capture some of the feathery friends visiting his garden.
Using a clever bit of technology designed to automatically photograph birds or any other wildlife that turns up, David has managed to capture a couple of great images of a Coal tit and an aerobatic Blue tit visiting his bird table.
Hopefully we may get to see what else visits David’s bird table over the coming months.
