THE great outdoors seems to have been the theme this week for the Whitchurch Herald’s Camera Club.

Once again, you have sent your pictures to the Camera Club’s Facebook page in your numbers and the recent warmer weather coupled with the longer spring and summer nights, means you’re out and about.

This week, Kate Long sent in two classic Kate Long shots; first we have an Elephant Hawk Moth which was taking a nice rest on a lupin, followed by a yellow hammer having a look about.

Carol Bickley has sent another feathered friend for viewing and while she doesn’t specify the breed, Carol believes it is the first time a youngster has ventured out of the nest.

Back to our birds, long-time Whitchurch Herald contributor Laura Butler sent in two, both with their own personalities
