RETURN VISIT TO OTMOOR
I drove over to RSPB Otmoor today, to see what I could find in the way of butterflies. I couldn't find any black hairstreaks, and there was no one around to ask, so had to be satisfied with a comma, red admiral, speckled wood, meadow brown, ringlet, a few whites, and my first gatekeeper of the year.
I was also pleased to get some photos of a turtle dove, which I had heard but not seen properly earlier in the year.
