• Sunday, May 24, 2009 - Attention turns to Butterflies
Visited my parents' house in St.Helens and had great views of Bullfinch plus a Redpoll on the garden feeders. Sunflower kernels seem to be doing the trick for them with plenty of Greenfinches and Goldfinches there as well.
My garden is quiet these days but a Painted Lady was a nice surprise in the last week.
Spent the Bank Holiday weekend with the family, and we ventured into Dorset on the Sunday. A nice walk up Hod Hill, Marsh Fritillary was easy there. The first within a minute of climbing the hill, and several more good views of a beautiful insect. Celebrated with a pub lunch afterwards. Only 2 Southern England butterfly species left for me to see... Glanville Fritillary which are on the wing at Hurst as we speak, and Lulworth Skipper. |
