Still no birds but at least there are butterflies! I did a 4 mile geocaching walk just to the west of Lound this afternoon and butterflies and dragonflies were very noticable. A pair of
Wall Browns were settling on the path followed by a pristine
Painted Lady doing the same thing just 5 minutes later. Better still was a single
Clouded Yellow picked up in flight but luckily it too settled for a photo. Other species seen were
Gatekeeper, Meadow Brown, Small Tortoiseshell, Large White, Small White, Peacock, Small Copper, Common Blue and
Holly Blue.
Dragonflies seen were
Emerald Damselfly, Ruddy Darter, Common Darter, Brown Hawker, Southern Hawker and loads of
Migrant Hawkers including a 'flock' of at least 40 over some field side set-a-side.
