Despite the cooler autumn nights, the week's warm and calm days have enabled our butterflies to continue, so that on yesterday's transect we recorded 50 butterflies (an increase of four over last week's count) across nine species. The most numerous were the Brown Arguses, with 16 counted, followed by 14 Meadow Browns and 9 Small Heaths.

  9 Small Heath
