Sadly, a bit of a washout. Almost the whole of the area where we last looked for Butterflies and Moths is now covered in tall grass:
Nevertheless, we saw a few viz.
a Holly Blue Butterfly
(at least) two Meadow Brown Butterflies
a Small Skipper Butterfly viz.
a Speckled Wood Butterfly
and two Burnet Companion Moths
but we don't think we will be going back.
We contented ourselves in the main in looking for Wild Flowers: species seen included:
Annual Meadow-Grass
Bird's-Foot Trefoil
Cleavers
Cock's-Foot
Common Ragwort
Common Sorrel
