I paid a visit to Ravensroost woods this afternoon in cloudy weather; in the meadows I saw plenty of meadow brown butterflies and a few large skippers. A largish dragonfly was flying around for a bit but not near enough to identify. I followed the track down to the ponds but the only butterfly seen was a speckled wood. Wating to turn onto the A419 I noticed a marbled white butterfly fluttering amongst the vegetation on the verge. So that was three new species for the year, although being common species, I am sure they will occur regularly in my walks over the coming months.
