Another May weekend visit, this time to Alners Gorse and Lynlinch Common. The first was still showing some butterflies, but was really at an in between time for the site, I expect to see more later on in the year.
What I did see was several Large Skippers about and a Broad-bodied Chaser. Here’s the 3 best shots I got from them at Alners.

After Alners I had a walk around Lynlinch common. There were still some Forester Moths out that I took last visit, and some blues sitting on vegetation in the wind. The best of these that I took is below.
