Checking the Burnets seen last week the many hundreds still present appear to be Five-Spot.
2 Six-Spot Burnet picked out.
Dozens of Meadow Brown
20+ Small Skipper
1 Large Skipper
3 Common Blue
1 Gatekeeper
1 Small Tortoiseshell
Lots Common Blue Damselfly
Couple Blue-tailed Damselfly
1 Dragonfly resting in full view appeared to be a Black-tailed Skimmer. Another blue bodied Dragonfly flew past in a different area but was not ID'd to species.
