To Scadbury Park (the LB of Bromley) to look for Butterflies and Moths

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
Common Vetch
Creeping Buttercup

Lesser Trefoil
Meadow Buttercup
Mouse-Ear Hawkweed

and Yorkshire Fog

And finally, we are told these are probably Sawflies:
