Saturday I was along the old Railway at Cotty Burn. Good numbers of Large and GV Whites in the field at the top of Redhouse Dean.
Sunday I was at Bara Loch in morning. Good numbers of Large and GV Whites again and a few Meadow Browns and one Red Admiral but nothing else. Very disappointing there compared to this time last year.
Sunday afternoon I walked along the path from Gifford to Bolton. In the field of long grass on the left just before the second kissing gate I was surprised to see about 6 Small Skippers. Also Large Whites, GV WHites, Meadow Browns and Ringlets.
Haven't seen Small Skippers here before. The seem to be doing well...
