Ogden Water 18.7.18
Found a nice little spot for butterflies, just up from Skirden Clough green bridge on the left is a patch of thistles, grasses, rosebay, ragwort and brambles. Quite a lot of white and skipper activity, but closer to the green bridge found a White letter hairstreak on bramble, looked a bit ragged round the edge, but a nice find and one to add to the site list.

Another good one there Chris. I think that's well away from any elms which I gather is their favoured species.
