SILVER WASHED FRITILLARY
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.
