Pretty breezy for butterfly's today but managed to find one spot which was quite productive. The meadow up the track from Gibson Mill has a good mix of grasses and a couple of groups of thistles so we managed a few butterfly's there. 25+ Meadow Brown, 2 Ringlets, 3 Speckled Wood, 1 Red Admiral, 1 Large Skipper and 2 Small Skippers together.
The latter I find a bit puzzling after checking the photos.
I can't think Essex Skipper but that's the best I could do in the windy conditions.
Red Admiral
Also managed a couple of moths. Common Carpet in the woodland and a Dark Arches rescued from Gibson Mill cafe.
Purple Clay and a Smoky Wainscot in the trap at home this morning.
