Walking the paths at @KneppWildlandFd initially thought this was a dropping leaf, surprised to see these mating Ringlets literally at our feet

@savebutterflies @HantsIWWildlife @Hants_BIC A brief show of a female Common Blue possible aberration at Botley Wood. Maybe "casanensis" or "apicata-thestylis"?

Another visit to Honeybourne, Worcs to check on Grizzled Skipper numbers. An incredible 50+ seen across the site. Nice to get some shots of them on the larval foodplant, Wild Strawberry
