Big butterfly count

I spent a pleasant hour today counting butterflies for the big butterfly count (http://bigbutterflycount.org/). I found 11 species in all, with the highlight as far as I was concerned being a painted lady. Lots of large whites, peacocks and gatekeepers, with single common blue, small tortoiseshell, small skipper and red admiral. Others found were ringlet and speckled wood 

Also spoke to a Warren road resident, who has seen some white admirals in her garden.
