Monday 26th August 2013, 3.00pm, Huddersfield Road.

A great summer for butterflies, with the following this afternoon in the garden

Speckled Wood - abundant
Large White
Small White
Green-veined White
Peacock
Small Tortoiseshell
Gatekeeper - unusual for the garden, more commonly along Brushes Road
Meadow Brown
Common Blue - first in the garden this year. In fact, the first I've seen this year.

Wall Browns used to be a common feature, basking on fence panels, but I haven't seen one locally for many years, matching the national decline. Speckled Woods seem to have filled the niche. They seem to do very well locally, even in bad years.
