Yesterday, in the 32 degree heat (!), I decided to have a drive over to Pleasley Pit to try and see my first dragonflies of the year and a few butterflies.
The first species I saw was Small Blue. There weren't that many flying, but I did manage to see a few individuals and a mating pair. Other butterflies seen were: Common Blue (2 males), Brimstone (1 male) and a single Comma. One Burnet Companion and one Silver-ground Carpet (day-flying moths) was also seen.

Damselflies seen were: Common Blue, Blue-tailed, Large Red and Azure. Two species of dragonfly: Four-spotted and Broad-bodied Chaser were also seen.
