I had a walk around The Horsefield and the Woodland Burial Ground today and saw very little in the way of butterflies. Wverywhere was dried to a crisp with no plants left in flower for butterflies to nectar on. In total I saw 2 small white bordering the woodland burial ground and 3 male common blues. This on it's own was pleasing though; common blues seem to have had a better year on the Horsefield than of late. The Woodland Burial Ground produced a further 3 speckled wood and a handful of whites. There were a good number of migrant hawkers on the wing, though, both in the woodland cemetery and the main cemetery.
