To Bostall Heath (the Royal Borough of Greenwich) and the Surrounding area in search of Bee-Flies and Butterflies

Having just submitted, for the first time, some Bee-Fly Sightings to iRecord, we thought it would be nice to submit some for Bostall Heath if we could (for which we didn't have any formal Records). Pleasingly, we saw quite a few and managed to photograph three: the Sightings have been submitted to iRecord. Not many Records overall, but we suppose they all count:


And we also managed to see a few Butterflies viz.

a Brimstone Butterfly
a Green-Veined White Butterfly
a Holly Blue Butterfly (our first of 2020)
three Peacock Butterflies
nine Speckled Wood Butterflies viz.


and six unidentified White Butterflies (including a possible Orange-Tip Butterfly)

Wild Flower' Species seen included: Balkan SpurgeBluebell, Bush Vetch, Caper Spurge, Coral Spurge, Cow Parsley, an unidentified Dock viz.


Garlic Mustard, Green Alkanet, Honesty, Lesser CelandineLords-and-Ladies, Red Dead-Nettle, Stinking IrisWild Garlic and Wood Anemone (we had previously thought they had all gone but found we were mistaken).
