\"3x3<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Short walk to Greenside reservoir this morning. Warm, mostly sunny. Lots of butterflies around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d guess I saw over 200 ringlets; a lot of painted ladies & meadow browns. A few common blues & red admirals ,one small tortoiseshell & a white of some sort. A few fritillaries bright orange and zooming around, never posing. I saw one I’d never seen before. It look to me, after consulting my book & the web, like a small skipper. According to the same research this doesn’t seem to be where they are expected? Unfortunately my camera threw an error while I was trying to get a different angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
