So it does, Wurzel. Can’t say I’d noticed that!
The Ringlets had a spectacular crash last year, due to the previous years hot dry summer. However, equally spectacular has been its recovery this year, following the wet summer in 2023. They emerged from late June and, for a few short weeks, this lovely species could be seen in the damp grassland, all are gone now. The muggy grey skies and damp drizzle in July should have benefitted the Ringlet.
