Late afternoon visit to the Blue Lagoon Nature Reserve in Bletchley.
This reserve is well known locally for a few scarce species of Butterfly including Dingy and Grizzled Skippers, plus Small Blue.
Also renowned for regular car break ins, and gangs of Chavs from surrounding estates.
Today's visit was prompted by news that the two Skippers have both been seen on the wing in the last few days.
saw Dingy Skipper fairly easily, though it took a while to see it perched. A very well camouflaged butterfly that virtually disappears when it flies.
no sign of Grizzled Skipper today, but did see a female Emperor Moth in long grass which was quite spectacular.
Car was still there when I returned! |
