Took a walk along Hag Lane this afternoon leading on to Turner Lane and the hillsides above Claremount. Cool and overcast as I arrived and not much doing, but the sun came out and the temperature lifted considerably. On the hillsides lots of fields still uncut, fantastic looking meadows. Butterflies did not disappoint, with around forty.
