Sandhouse Lane NR

Another fine April day with plenty of wildlife to enjoy. A small micro moth turned out to be Grapholita jungiella which was new for me - other day-fliers included Common Heath and Pyrausta purpuralis. There were  plenty of butterflies too:

    • Dingy Skipper - 1
    • Small White - 1
    • Green Hairstreak - 9
    • Small Copper - 2
    • Holly Blue - 1
    • Red Admiral - 1
    • Speckled Wood - 4
Speckled Wood


Dragons were in evidence with four Downy Emerald, Large Red and Common Blue Damselfly.

Unexpectedly, a basking dragonfly turned out to be a Downy Emerald.

A hot and sunny bank holiday weekend !

It was nice to catch up with the Downy Emerald once again.

I liked the blokeh on this image of Green Hairstreak.

The male Common Blue seems to have limitless energy chasing rivals away - this one, however, takes a break
