As the weather was sunnier today, I made a return visit to Ravensroost woods to search for silver washed fritillaries and white admirals. I was pleased to find about 3 silver washed frillaries, but no white admirals were seen. I met Robin Griffiths who was doing the transect recording, he said he'd just seen one white admiral briefly this year so far. However, he did mention that someone had seen 3 white letter hairstreaks at Stratton woods, so I made a mental note to visit there.
Altogether at Ravensroost I saw, silverwashed fritillaries, large skipper, meadow brown, speckled wood, ringlet and marbled white.
A visit on the way home to Stratton wood yielded no hairstreaks but I did see a small skipper in addition to the meadow browns, ringlets and marbled whites.
