| Silver-washed Fritillary, Argynnis paphia, male |
Yesterday morning I visited Southwater Woods. Mark Colvin and Neil Hulme had the same idea and we assembled at the cross-paths and witnessed the first batch of 7 Silver-washed Fritillaries on the brambles. When the sun shone they flew down for nectar, then frustratingly rested high up on the trees for long periods. There were plenty of Speckled Woods about and Meadow Browns were abundant in the meadow, also Silver Y moths.
