Yesterday afternoon found seven Pearl –bordered Fritillaries at Rewell Wood. It was cloudy with a few specks of rain until 4:05pm, when blue skies arrived and at 4:30pm I started finding Pearls in different areas. I also saw a Mining bee, a Bee fly, a Marsh Tit  singing away, Yellow Archangel and my first two Speckled Yellow moths of the year.
