Blue skies this morning made a welcome change after yesterday's weather. A walk up the hill to check on the wood warbler brought plenty of vocals but no sightings.
A fritillary was flying low over disturbed ground near the quarry. When I saw the underwing I knew it was one I hadn't seen before; and I learnt from websites that it was a pearl-bordered fritillary.
It was a lovely butterfly, and made up for the invisible wood warbler. Despite his cold Greger wanted to walk down to the Seaforth for lunch; so we did, and sat outside eating fish-and-chips and watching the world go by (quite a lot of it on Harley Davidsons).
