Ivinghoe Beacon: Sunshine, showers and sock-drenching rain but third time lucky with the
Dukes this week. There were at least 5 fluttering about the Hawthorn and Brambles this morning, along with plenty of
Dingy Skippers and a few
Green Hairstreaks. Nice to see my first
Burnet Companion moth of the year too.

Then, on to
Dockey Wood. Bluebell heaven. The contrast between the zesty lime of the
Beech leaves and the heady, deep purple-blue of the
Bluebells was incredibly beautiful. One snap definitely doesn't do it justice!
All out of energy (butterflies can be exhausting little blighters!), so that's it for today...
