Earlier this week I took the short drive to one of my local Wealden woods for my daily exercise walk, happy that I was in compliance with government lockdown guidelines.
I was keen to see Pearl-bordered Fritillaries (Boloria euphrosyne) patrolling the bluebell clearings and to hear a singing Nightingale at least once this year.
On this warm and breezy day, Blackcaps, Chiff-chaffs, Willow Warblers and Nightingales were singing and I was pleased to happen upon a mating pair of Pearl-bordered Fritillary clinging to a birch stem.
