Track behind the ski-slope at Ploughcroft this afternoon. Didn't expect too much but it turned out well. Found a sheltered spot next to the track, out of the wind, with a bank of flowering heather to a background of big holly's.
At least 4 Holly Blue butterflies seen at the same time but they were on the heather and fluttering around the holly's so there could have been more. Impossible to get a decent photo unfortunately. A few blurred images ! Also at the same spot....
10+ Gatekeepers, 1 Speckled Wood, 1 Peacock, 6+ Meadow Brown, 2 Small Copper
Up the track just beyond this spot found 3 Walls, must be second generation this year.

Earlier in the day the moth trap produced two new ones for the year with a Lesser Swallow Prominent and a Six-striped Rustic.
