Jayne and I joined a Butterfly Conservation walk around Fineshade Wood today, in search of the Chequered Skipper. Unfortunately, despite walking around the site for approximately 3 hours, we didn't find any today.
We did, however, record other species, including a "lifer" in the shape of Grizzled Skipper.
Grizzled Skipper
Other species seen were: Red Admiral, Common Blue, Brimstone, Dingy Skipper and Painted Lady.
A couple of day-flying moths were also seen: Mother Shipton and Burnet Companion.
Burnet Companion
A Lackey moth caterpillar was also seen, along with a Green Tiger Beetle. 3 Hairy Dragonflies were spotted and a single Azure Damselfly was also seen.

Birdwise, it was quite quiet, but we did see/hear Red Kites, Buzzards, Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler, Blackcap, Wren and Robin.
