Seven Barrows - Marsh Fritillaries etc

27 May - An afternoon visit to Seven Barrows reserve at Lambourn, in hot weather with some sunny intervals. Three Marsh Fritillaries seen in a half hour walk, including one that settled for the camera (5). Also seen - 2-3 Dingy Skippers (2), 2 Small Coppers (3), up to 10 Brown Argus (4) and 20+ Small Heath (1).

A cool spring so far....

12-13 May - A sunny w/e in this dismal spring, but still very cool with a NW breeze. I saw a handful of butterflies - Comma (pic), Peacocks and an Orange tip.
