This afternoon - very little sunshine but it was very warm and the still uncut, dry fields were perfect and pretty much alive with butterflies with plenty thistles and ragwort etc along the lanes.
Meadow Brown was the commonest (impossible to count) with Ringlets, Small Tortoiseshells and a few Small Heaths in among. 2 Large Skippers and c 8 Small Skippers and best of all a Common Blue showing well and more or less staying in and around the same spot. No Whites.
Moths included one each of Yellow Shell, Silver-ground Carpet, Latticed Heath and 4 Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet Moths in close proximity on Creeping Thistle heads.
