With the excuse of searching for nicely rounded river rocks for the garden and new pond, I hit the road.Naturally the route went by a favourite butterfly spot not yet checked out this year. There are usually Green-underside Blues there, but not yet. However there was a Provençale short-tailed Blue, Violet Fritillary, some Green Hairstreaks and the currently common Orange Tips, a Peacock and 2 Wood Whites. She was seen laying eggs on Lathyrus tuberosus, and later saw off a hopeful male.
I did get some stones too!
