Two transects today,Gorse Bank at Torness and the wood and sea bank at Skateraw.

Caterpillars-3 Red Admiral , 5 Chamomile Shark and 16 Cinnabars.
Skateraw.....1 Small White , 1 Large White , 2 Fly By White , 16 Red Admiral (at least 7 on one bramble bower) , 3 Common Blue , 19 Ringlet , 3 Speckled Wood , 5 Silver Y , 6 Yellow Shell , 2 NB5 Spot burnets.

Nice mix of species , I just wish we didn't have to have wind along with every sunny day !
