Lynchcombe Steps
Today on Lynchcombe was a day of sunshine and showers.
Butterfly Transect
Getting a few more butterflies as summer attempts to start. June weather had been so poor on the weekends so this was the first transect for a few weeks.
Today was the day for Meadow Browns. Not a record – I once had 183 on a single transect. Occasionally, some of the these turned out to be Ringlets. They rested on this cold day deep down within the bracken. Also saw a few skippers, painted ladies on a mission and a rare common blue.
Flowers
Nice to see some orchids on the reserve. As well as the beautiful yellow rock-rose.
More Sheep
Of course there are still sheep on the reserve.
New Sign
At long last we have a lovely new sign welcoming visitors to the reserve.
And Finally…
This bumblebee was fast asleep with its head stuck in a clover flower.
