We had a fine afternoon (Monday) for our final transect of 2020. The butterfly flight season is truly drawing to a close – we counted 23 from 6 species, all recorded in the first four sections (between Hither Field and Fames Rough). On last year's week 26 transect we counted only two!
Here's what we saw:
13 
Common Blue
  4 Meadow Brown
  2 Small Copper
  2 Small White
  1 Brimstone
  1 Small Heath
