More Fabulous Horsefield Butterflies.
The same format on the weather front again today: dull morning and sunny for a couple of hours in the afternoon. In fact on my return from the Horsefield the usual sea fret came in with the tide and it turned amazingly chilly. I returned specifically tp try for the painted lady. Although I did see one, possibly two, unfortunately I didn't capture and images. It was again magnificent for insects, though, the following being seen:-
- Small Tortoiseshell - too numerous to count.
- Meadow Brown 23
- Red Admiral 3
- Large Skipper 8
- Middle-Barred Minor moth 3
- Silver Y moth 5
- Yellow Shell Moth 1
- Small Heath 4
- Common Blue 3
- Painted Lady 1(possible 2)
- Female broad bodied chaser 1
I was delighted to find the broad bodied; a first for me on my edgeland patch. There were still some singing birds around: yellowhammer, willow warbler and blackbird
