Syke Lane fields and Back Lane fields still uncut. A lovely warm sunny afternoon and the meadows were alive with Meadow Browns (impossible to count). Also a good show of Ringlets, a number of Small Tortoiseshells and a few Small Heaths.
Best of the afternoon was a Beautiful Yellow Underwing - camera wouldn't focus or maybe I wasn't quick enough the more likely explanation.
Found it at the top end of Ogden's White Wall End near the bridge across the gully. It was resting on a bracken frond then it flew around us for a moment or two but it wouldn't settle. Only my second one - stunning !
