Bullcliffe NR

A bit of sunshine today, so I headed out to with the camera, and out to Bullcliffe NR. On arrival and walking around for a while, there wasn’t much flying today at all. I decided on another loop and came up with a few Ringlets, Meadow Browns and Small Skippers Butterflies.

I finally tracked down a Small Skipper that seemed to be staying in one area, got the seat out and settled in. The Small Skipper was definitely staying in this area, along with a Large Skipper, I spent some time taking photos of these two.

Other highlights were a Dagger Fly, Thick headed Fly [Sicus ferrugineus], and plenty of Common Red Soldier Beetles
