THE COOMBES WALK
Quite a nice tally of butterflies from the Coombes walk at Hinton parva, just a short distance from home, despite not seeing the ones I was looking for! The half way point of my walk along the valley floor was barred by a herd of cows, so I made a steep climb up the side of the valley and returned alongside the top hedge. There were the usual marbled whites, meadow browns, small skippers, gatekeepers, also a bright yellow brimstone, a couple of small tortoiseshells, red admirals, large and small whites, green veined white and a comma.
