RAVENSROOST
My first visit to Ravensroost wood this year produced meadow browns ( hundreds!) ringlets, marbled whites, large and small skippers, common blue, half a dozen silver washed fritillaries, and at least one white admiral. Others there said that white letter hairstreaks and purple hairstreaks had already been seen this year, but I didn't find any, but the sky had clouded over by then. It is also fairly early in their flight period. This wood is a great place for butterflies and in the past I have recorded 14 butterflies on one visit. I hope to make some return visits.
