Butterflies back......

Some hot sunny spells this last 2 days
Cold Edge a good show of Small Tortoiseshells yesterday (5th) with an occasional Peacock and Green-veined White.

Lee Mount - not a lot other than a Peacock and 2 Speckled Wood.

Carrs Beck and Hunter Hill this afternoon - 3 Walls (good to see there are still some about) and a single Small Heath. Also  a few Small Tortoiseshells, a Peacock, Green-veined White and a Small White

Not a lot doing with moths at home other than a max of 7 Copper Underwing agg and another Angle-striped Sallow this morning along with plenty Large Yellow Underwings still and a Small Phoenix etc...
Angle-striped Sallow

7th September
So hot today and started off well with at least 10 Wall butterflies along Ringby Lane. Included 5 together chasing each other around in spirals. Also 2 Small Coppers, a Red Admiral and a Peacock and a good show of Small Tortoiseshells.
Also found a couple of small nettle patches with a few Nettle-taps came flying around when I brushed past the nettles.
