It's been quite a while since I posted, I've not been out and about much,( only locally) I did go back to Gait Barrow once and I saw Small PBF but they were not landing on any thing, the weather was cloudy and usually when the Sun appears they fly, they did, straight into the long grass and hedges

The day carried on like that, so that's why I've not been out and about much. I decided to wait hoping they were just late coming out before I ventured too far again.
I spoke to the Ranger at Gait Barrow and he was saying what a bad season it's been so far , I can agree with that , we've had no Butterflies to speak of in the gardens around here and at Hall-Lee-Brook the only Butterflies I've seen so far are the ones I posted last. No Whites Small/Large/or Green Veined since I posted my last ones

Not good news!
Today I thought great weather, nearly July we can visit Meathop Moss and see if the Large Heath are out yet, I'd never seen them so I was looking forward to the visit. I didn't take into account the temperatures
We set off 9.30am M61, then onto M6 at Exit 36 we moved onto the A590 towards Barrow and at the round about we took a left down the road,( if anybody goes that way don't, do what we did

we should have turned left at the cycle route but kept straight on.
Any way we arrived finally and found the Path rather over grown, apart from that the LH's were flying and that's all they did they no sooner landed then they took off again

so my photo's are very hit and miss, it was a case of trying to get a photo has they flashed passed us, I know the photos are not so good but it's the first time I've seen the LH so I'm still going to keep them until I can get back there to take better ones
The weather was very humid and there wasn't a breath of air so we had to retreat to the car and the air conditioning and Home.Goldie
