The strong easterly wind put a cold edge on what was otherwise a fine sunny morning and we were not surprised that there were no butterflies to count in Section 1, but we then went on to record our highest ever number of Dingy Skippers (54), considerably beating last year's highest count of 32. 

We recorded:
54 Dingy Skipper
25 Brimstone 
​13 Grizzled Skipper
12 Green Hairstreak
10 Small Heath
  5 Orange Tip
  4 Holly Blue
  4 Peacock
  2 Green-veined White
  1 Speckled Wood
  1 Small Copper

Totalling 131 butterflies across 11 species.
