Park Wood

An amazing couple of hours checking two sites late morning starting off with 2 Yellow Shell's in a patch of brambles.
At the very top of  Plains Lane in fields to the west I came across a low hedgerow with lots of flowering grasses in the field and alongside the hedge a good number of Marsh Thistles etc.
I came  across a continuous stream of butterflies as I walked along.

Lower down, in the long grass, conveniently left uncut, at the rear of the crematorium the count continued...especially to the front of the big hedge, and behind it.
