Yesterday I started the day at the Earnley tropical butterfly garden where I met up with Mark. As the sun was shining we headed up to Oaken Wood to check for Wood Whites. I spotted a brown adder in the bushes by the triangle. We saw each other at the same time and both froze and looked at each other for a minute or so, then she slithered off into the leaves. I then called in at Houghton Forest on the way back and saw 3 male Orange-tips, 2 females, a couple of Peacocks a male Brimstone and a Pearl-bordered Fritillary.
