taken 11 years ago, 3 km from Blindburn, Northumberland, England

River Coquet east of Makendon
In the bed of the River Coquet below Makendon there are exposed rocks of Silurian age (grey-green shales and greywackes) rarely found in Durham and Northumberland which are part of a Berwickshire formation which here extends over the Border. The Cheviot larvas cover the Silurian base rock platform to the east.
