For the last few years Jayne and I have visited a super site in Carlton in Lindrick, Nottinghamshire, to see some lovely butterflies;
Marbled White,
Dark Green Fritillary and
Silver-studded Blue. We've always managed to see the first two species, but the third one has been a little trickier!! Thankfully, this year we managed to drop lucky, seeing at least 1 female and 1 male.

Other butterfly species seen were:
Comma (1),
Red Admiral (1),
Ringlet (10+) and a small skipper species (either
Small or
Essex; 1 of which was reported by another visitor).
