Considering the warm weather with unbroken sunshine the butterflies were disappointing - probably the lack of nectar is the reason. Howver the day was marked by the sighting of a mating pair of Willow Emerald Damselflies - the first on the transect though they were seen by another observer at the same place in late July.
