A quick visit yesterday after work for Marsh Fritillary paid off. With sun in and out they were sitting with their wings closed a fair bit, I saw about 10 in total. The first Frit to pop up was this Small Pearled Border, also there were loads of common blues on the wing. Also I saw 2 Dingy Skippers there. Yesterday evening I nipped up to Abernant looking for Grasshopper Warbler but no joy but saw that the Broad Leaved Helleborine is starting to come up .
The Grasshopper Warblers were in that dip just above the double bend with the clump of trees and the ruins. They started reeling at 05:20.
