Tuesday's transect was walked in the best weather we've had this season, and the butterflies were present across all of the sections, rather than concentrated in Coneyboro and Fames Rough, as for previous weeks.
 In addition to the species we'd expect to see we also recorded our first Small Heaths, a Painted Lady, a Brown Argus and a Small Copper.  
 
Count details:
27 Dingy Skipper
23
Common Blue
20 Brimstone
  9 Green Hairstreak
  8 Small Heath
  4 Grizzled Skipper
  1 Brown Argus
  1 Painted Lady
  1
Peacock
  1 Small Copper
​

 Total: 95 Butterflies across 10 species.
