May 2017
At the beginning of May I was in Dorset again, which of course meant an obligatory visit to Portland.
I found a nice Small Copper.
This Common Lizard was happy for me to sit a few feet away as we both enjoyed the sun.
An Adela reaumurella moth.
My first Wall butterfly of the year was glad sight.
RSPB Lodmoor at Weymouth is obviously known for birds, but you can see one or two butterflies along it's paths.
Male Orange-tip.
A female Green-veined White.
This is the caterpillar of the Drinker Moth.
An older picture, but taken in the same area. We came across this female Drinker right next to the path.
Isn't she a beauty ?
Cheers
