PENTYLANDS
A short, very warm walk around part of Pentylands, Highworth after work today. Many meadow brown butterflies around, also good numbers of marbled whites and ringlets ( both my first sightings this year). Also saw small tortoiseshells, large skippers and a comma. On the whole, the marbled whites seemed reluctant to settle, but towards the end of my walk, I managed to find a couple of obliging individuals.
