MORE BUTTERFLIES EMERGING



A late morning walk round part of the golf course today, and I was pleased to see    some speckled wood butterflies, five to be precise, presumably they must have emerged since yesterday when I saw none. I also managed to find a female orange tip, and another new species, a small white. albeit with part of its wingtip already  missing! 

Blackcaps singing again along with chiffchaffs and other species. Just caught sight of a couple of red legged partridges which I disturbed on the golf course and which flew off quickly over the hedge.
