A late afternoon walk around Shepreth L-moor and Fowlmere, specifically to see what butterflies and dragonflies were about...
Shepreth L-moor:
Meadow Brown
Small Tortoiseshell
Comma
Small White
Large White
Painted Lady
Green-veined White
Small Skipper
Fowlmere:
Small White
Banded Demoiselle
Hairy Dragonfly
Large White
Emperor
Meadow Brown
Black-tailed Skimmer
Small Skipper
Also at Fowlmere, at least four Turtle Doves (one seen.)
The bedroom Swifts were behaving oddly at dusk. They continually kept entering and leaving between 9:30 and 10pm, before finally settling down for the evening. I suppose they may have been having a last minute insect foray, but they were returning to the nest very quickly.
