Woodland Butterflies at Bricket Wood

With the weather been quite changeable recently last week spent at nice morning down at Bricket Wood Common. First walked around the common lots of butterflies out on the wing with a good selection of Marbled Whites, Skippers and Gatekeeper which has just started to appear but the hightlight was a single Painted Lady which was feeding on the common which despite seem quite a few on the coast is my first local one of the year.

Then headed into the Wood where the Ringlets and Whites where everywhere with a good number of White Admirals and Silver-Washed Fritillaries mainly male down the ride but great to see them doing well again.
