Turned out nice again

GK, LN and BG walked Transect 14 on Friday afternoon - the weather was warm, with sun and an occasional cloud and cool breeze.
 
The total count was 401, 10 less than last week's figure, and comprised virtually the same species with the addition of a photogenic Comma on Coneyboro Hill and our first Speckled Wood of the year.
