Remember the sun?

The third Painted Lady I'd seen this week was flitting around at Murton along with a couple of Cinnabar Moths which seem to have suffered a decline there. Perhaps the disappearance of the Ragwort is the cause, the plant the caterpillars rely on. The Common Blue Damselflies are fairing much better with many males and females around the water and paths. Still no Dragonflies yet though.
