Butterflies &c. on the former Thamesmead Golf Course and Surrounding Area

It was a Sunny Late-Morning/Early-Afternoon although Windy: we decided to pop down to the former Thamesmead Golf Course and the Surrounding Area to see what we could find although we weren't too Optimistic in terms of Butterflies and Moths.

We were also hopeful there would be no Motorbikes around and thankfully, there weren't any. A planned Weekend' Visit a couple of weeks ago was prudently abandoned after we watched four Characters, one on a Motorbike, making their way to join others already on the former Golf Course. The Youngsters are one Thing but these were a different Kettle of Fish entirely.

And Wow: we were Super-Surprised to see quite a few Butterfly &c. Species viz.

Brimstone viz.

Brown Argus viz.

Burnet Companion (Moth)
Comma viz.

Common Blue
Green-Veined White viz.

Holly Blue
Large Skipper viz.

Meadow Brown (our first of the year locally)
Painted Lady viz.

Peacock
Red Admiral viz.

Small Tortoiseshell viz.

Small White viz.

Speckled Wood viz.

In addition to the Butterflies &c. lots of other Critters were abroad including:
