Still not doing well for moths here in Lee Mount. Just one moth this morning - but it was a good one.
Spectacle
Later in the day spent some time at Ogden / Ovenden Moor and later on along Castle Carr Road.
A good do with butterflies all round - it was warm / hot at times today.
Red Admiral x 1, Green Hairstreaks x 10, Wall x 1, Small Coppers x 4, Speckled Wood x 4 along with a decent show of Orange-tips, Green-veined Whites and Small Tortoiseshells and just a few Small Whites.
On Ovenden Moor plenty Common Heaths included two in cop' and 2 more on Castle Carr Road. Paul B also got a nice shot of a male Common Heath showing the feathery antennae very well.
