More butterflies

Today I was at Loynton Moss to complete the butterfly transect, like the one from my last post at Mottey Meadows NNR.

The survey involves walking a set route around the reserve, recording the species seen.  You can find out more details here - http://www.ukbms.org

Species seen included gatekeeper, speckled wood, meadow brown, small white and small copper.  There were also many dragonflies about including migrant hawker, southern hawker, brown hawker, emerald damselfly, common darter and ruddy darter.  A kingfisher was seen on the canal and several bullfinch were in the small glade at the southern end of the woodland.
