Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary (Clossiana selene). Wyre Forest, Worcestershire. DSC_4825.jpg

            Taken on a trip over to Wyre Forest from Nottingham. We first visited the site near Earnwood Copse car park. However, we arrived mid morning and the SPBFs were already energised in the heat and constantly flying making photos impossible. We think we saw some 3-4 individuals but the sparse sightings were hard to gauge numerically. It clouded over just after midday and the butterflies hunkered down. 

We headed over to Dry Mill Lane and walked up the old raiway track, seeing nothing in the way of butterflies bar several Speckled Woods, but returned to Earnwood Copse at 5 pm as the sun re-emerged, staying until 7pm. The butterflies were again up and flying, but less energetically and settling frequently, so we were able to obtain photos. Also seen, several Ringlet, Meadow Brown, Speckled Wood; a faded Painted Lady, Red Admiral, a Brimstone.

With John Farrell and Dave Thorpe and a big thanks to John Farrell for chauffeuring us all over there from Nottingham.

Thank you for your faves and comments. Much appreciated.
