Yesterday, I walked up a steep footpath with Poppy (it was too energetic for Alice). The path has fields on either side. It was a warm humid day and at one time the sun came out, bringing with it a host of butterflies and moths. I saw a large number of the small, orange Barred Hook-tip Moth, two Gatekeepers, Meadow Browns, Painted Lady, Ringlet and lots of what my Butterfly and Moth book calls tan coloured tiny micro moths.
Sounds idyllic. Love your blog.
Your is very well written and definitely read worth.
