The second session of MAPS took place today under sunny skies. There were few mosquitoes, reasonable temperatures, and a goodly number of birds around. Hardly anything to complain about at all really. But I’m sure I’ll find something…
Lots of butterflies in evidence including Inornate Ringlet, Little Wood Satyr, and Great Spangled Fritillary, and a number of odes, such as Midland Clubtail and Powdered Dancer.
