A really nice day today, the warmest of this year so far I think.
Not huge numbers of butterflies seen, but then again I tend not to see so many unless I'm really on the lookout - presumably they just don't get into sight range so easily. However Speckled Wood, Pararge aegeria, were seen occasionally, at least three, together with one male Brimstone along the edge of the North Downs Trail. There was also a large dark butterfly, possibly Peacock sized, sunning itself on one of the posts by the side of the Dry Valley, but I had put it up before I saw it properly and wasn't able to identify it.
A nice white erineum on one of the newly planted lime trees suggested.
