Not finding frits
So yesterday, I had a wonder up the main ride in Wellow Wood to look for butterflies - mainly in the hope of a Silver-washed Fritillary, but alas, it was not to be. However, when the sun came out the verges were heaving with butterflies; mainly Whites, but plenty of other things as well, including quite a few Peacocks - only one Red Admiral though. A couple of Hairstreaks had to go unidentified, they were just to high, against the light, and always obscured by a leaf! Earlier, however, I'd seen a couple of definite Purple Hairstreaks from the road between Laxton and Kneesall Woods.

In the afternoon, a quick look at Ferry Lane Lake at Collingham produced an adult and juvenile Dunlin, a 4 juvenile LRPs and an adult Yellow-legged Gull. Not much else though.
