I had planned to end up at Tidemills today, but as I pulled into the car park at High and Over
I could see from there that Tidemills would be out of the question.
With the weather deteriorating I didn't hold out much hope for any butterfly sightings, that was
until I unexpectedly found upwards of twenty fresh Red Admirals nectaring on Ivy Blossom.
As the strong wind was blowing from the west, the thick vegetation made an excellent wind break,
and along the hedge in the meadow the wind could hardly be felt.
Three Wall Browns were found on the steps, and in the meadow, but understandably all were worn.
A fresh, lively, Peacock eventually settled in the meadow for several shots, as did a reasonable
Speckled Wood found on the way back to the car park.
