Several painted ladies heading purposefully west in the vicinity of Stanneybrook Park this afternoon. Also some small whites and a single orange tip. Whilst here I also checked out a few little nooks from my childhood that escaped the new industrial site. I was able to locate a few areas of harenut (or pignut if you prefer) and was pleased to see common spotted orchid leaves in a site from way back.
Also, in the moth trap this morning (New Hey), I had poplar hawkmoth and a small elephant hawkmoth.

Regards, Chris Jepson - Brown.

A new one for me here, though relatively common on Saddleworth Moor.

marsh marigolds, Coronation Lodge,
bogbean, Coronation Lodge,
bluebells (aplenty),
pignut (locally called harenuts), below Bone Heys.
