A visit to Abbots Wood this morning,in almost perfect weather,revealed only three maybe four,
Pearl Bordered Fritillaries. Most welcome was my second Grizzled Skipper of the year, and a perfect
Green Hairstreak which was a bright turquoise in colour, but unfortunately, despite having been seen
twice, did not hang around for the camera.
Another Insect i saw is i think a Clearwing Moth,hopefully someone can give a positive ID.
Something about the atmosphere today told me that the ' June gap ' is not too far away. But after that
we can look forward to the spectaculars in July!.
Tomorrow i'm looking for Dukes, and Friday Marsh Fritillaries.
Best wishes,
TREVOR.
