MORE BUTTERFLIES AT BARBURY CASTLE

Hurrah for a fine sunny day without the risk of showers!  An opportunity to return to Barbury Castle hill fort to see what was  about. 
 I was pleased to see a number of Painted ladies, small tortoiseshells, a few common blues, brown argus, small heath, lots of meadow browns and a ringlet.
