Duke of Burgundy

A trip out of Devon today up to Thurlbear Wood in Somerset to look for Butterflies with the main one being the Duke of Burgundy Fritillary and I was lucky enough to see at least 6 of these delightful little gems , at least 10 maybe more Grizzled Skipper were seen , 2 Dingy Skipper , 6 Common Blue , a female Orange Tip , a Wall Brown & a very smart looking Scorpion Fly .
Only one bird was seen today a European Green Woodpecker but a few were heard with a very loud Common Nightingale , a Common Cuckoo , a Tawny Owl & numerous Blackcap .
