Unappealing weather

Tuesday's transect was walked in cloudy, lukewarm weather which, from the numbers we counted, did not greatly appeal to the butterflies. The number of species was down to only 5 compared with last week's 11, and the total count of butterflies was 104, against 221 last  week.

Here's what we saw:
79 Meadow Brown
15 Brown Argus
  8 Common Blue
  1 Small Copper
  1 Speckled Wood
