The First Speckled Wood of the Year.

A walk along the wooded banks of Shalfleet Stream today was rewarded with a sighting of the first Speckled Wood of the year.Alas it was only a brief glimpse as this new emergent quickly flew over the stream into the woodland.

  2. ¡Hola, Peter!, aquí me tienes de nuevo para lo que quieras. Preciosa toma de esa Pararge aegeria que por aquí llamamos "mariposa de los muros". Un fuerte abrazo y feliz temporada de mariposas. Saludos desde Asturias.
