Butterfly weekend

With the sun starting to come out now a few butterflies on the wing we decided to have a trip to Tottenhoe Quarry. Even though it was a little windy, It was my first time so to see a couple of Duke of Burgendy's early on was great. I didn't manage to get any photo's.

The other target fro me was a small blue which i hadn't seen before. A real dainty butterfly and i was surprised how many we saw if difficult conditions.

There were also good numbers of Common blues and we also saw a Brown argus and Little Heath.

we didn't manage to see a Grizzled Skipper that was my other target that i hadn't seen before. However strangely the following day i was at a Northants bioblitz and there were the Grizzled skimmers really dainty things!
