Lullington Heath

I visited Lullington Heath on a lovely warm July afternoon.

Six Spot Burnet Moths

The meadows were full of flowers and butterflies. I saw Marbled White, Meadow Brown, Dark Green Fritillary, Small Copper. Green Forester Moth and Six Spot Burnet Moth.

Linnets and Yellowhammers were everywhere. I also flushed a Snipe from the crater, which was my 89th species for Term 6.

Male Linnet

On the pond in the crater was a marvellous Broad Bodied Chaser and two duelling Emperor Dragonflies, who splashed into the water together on several occasions.
