Saturday 7th July
Once again very hot, so only a short walk, down the Cloisters and Pirates wood, this view below is from the edge of the wood, corn looking quire ripe.
My usual place for butterflies near to Captain's Pool, very pleased to spot this Brown Argus butterfly, not the easiest of spots as they are quite small.
Hope for a rest before watching England beat Sweden 2-0 in the world cup, although they haven't yet been up against a real quality team I now think they have a good chance, come on England.
Met up with Jason later on down Stonechats Lane to look for the purple hairstreaks and we were not let down, now I need to try and get a photo which is not easy as they don't settle very often.
Sunday July 8th
Yet another hot one with no let up forecast for at least the next week.
I braved an hour's walk before lunch, yes once again my usual short walk, spotted 3 purple hairstreaks along the Grey Lady's Cloisters.
This Brown Hawker was resting amongst the ferns, I was very lucky to spot it, but couldn't get a real good quality image.

Monday 9th July
A good walk this morning, up by the pool and then along the Cloisters, up the carrot field and down to Stonechat's Lane, a walk along there and then retraced my steps and ended up down by the three pools, which was amazingly quiet.
