Grizzled Skipper, Pyrgus malvae |
I did my first butterfly transect of the year at Mill Hill this morning and was rewarded with two Grizzled Skippers which were first reported on Saturday. I also recorded 1 male Brimstone, 1 Comma, 3 Peacocks, 3 Small Tortoiseshells, 1 Small white and 1 Speckled Wood plus the pyralid moths Pyrausta nigrata, Pyrausta purpuralis and Pyrausta despicata. A Green Woodpecker and two partridges broke cover at the bottom of the hill. I watched a black adder move along in the under brush and found a dead Wood mouse.
