@Tomonabike46 @CourtS2196 @DudleyNature @EcoRecording @savebutterflies And I thought I'd done well seeing a Purple Hairstreak 🙄😂

@Tomonabike46 @yelloowec Just heard the fire service guy say they're going to have to break open the two gates onto Blackbrook Road.

[Martin Weaver @HikerMartin]

Netherton Hill on fire. Gorse by middle bench. Several fires so looks deliberate @Tomonabike46 @yelloowec

[Martin Weaver @HikerMartin]

@Tomonabike46 @yelloowec Guy from fire service here now. Says he's going to let it burn out as can't engine anywhere near.

[Martin Weaver @HikerMartin]

@Tomonabike46 @yelloowec Yes, some guy has rang them. He thinks they're here already but I can't see any fire crew.

[Martin Weaver @HikerMartin]

@Tomonabike46 @yelloowec Had a couple of Marbled White on Tailings yesterday along with a Meadow Brown. Still haven't seen a Small Copper this year.

[Martin Weaver @HikerMartin]

@yelloowec Was it the same place as before?

Fens Pool NR 24/5 - a morning visit to see the Garganey which eventually (4+ hours!) came close enough for a photo or two...
