Having returned from our travels it was time to get back to the local patch. I followed my usual route and there have been changes. Everything is suddenly grown up and, on Gooseman's, at least, many more butterflies. I found my first meadow browns of the year in good numbers. It was good to find a few common blues too. Large skippers, speckled wood and small heaths were still on the wing and I recorded my first ringlets. Moths included narrow-bordered burnet moth and mother shiptons. The woodland burial ground had been freshly mown and so produced few butterflies: just 3 speckled woods and 4 meadow browns.
