1 Aug - a hot, sunny morning at Ravensroost, and a lot of insect activity - Emperor, and Southern and Brown Hawkers seen especially around the pond, together with the first Migrant Hawker (5) of the season. Also Common Darter (3,4) and Common Blue and Blue tailed Damselflies.
Butterflies were very active, and barely settling in the hot weather, 4+ Purple Hairstreaks (6) were flitting around the Ash trees, many Small Skippers (1) were buzzing around, and 15+ SW Fritillaries were feeding on the brambles. Also seen were Gatekeeper (2), Ringlet, Peacock, Brimstone, Meadow Brown and Comma. Photos JM.
