The highlight, apart from the numbers, was the marbled white butterfly. The weather started off hot with clear blue skies, with a little more cloud by the end, almost too perfect for surveying as there were insects everywhere! Also cinnabar moth and small tortoiseshell butterfly caterpillars we seen, as well as three silver Y moths.
