PENTYLANDS HIGHWORTH
I paid visit to Highworth's country park this afternoon, it was very breezy but quite sunny as I walked around the perimeter of the park. Most noticeable were the 100+ meadow brown butterflies, also quite a few ringlets, a couple of skippers, and some marbled whites. Towards the end of my walk I also spotted a small tortoiseshell.
