A late-afternoon walk - in suddenly quite warm sunshine - brought several small heath butterflies, fluttering about on waste ground above the lower quarry.
My first fritillary of the year - probably a small pearl-bordered - was also on the wing.
The fritillary was wary and I couldn't get a decent shot of the underwing; but it was as good to see this butterfly as it was to see that the wild thyme was beginning to bloom.
