A visit to Bentley Wood

The other venue visited at the weekend was Bentley Wood, a good location for butterflies. Alan Thornbury’s website is an excellent site for more information including the types to be found and what may be around at the time of your visit. Here is a link to the Bentley wood page

On this particular visit the majority were seen on the wing, so only got reasonably decent shots of 2 types of butterfly and a daytime moth.

1. The Pearl-bordered Fritillary (Boloria euphrosyne) butterfly
