Paul's last morning started with a change of plan: our car had a flat tyre so we had to use his beemer! Our first stop was Ranworth, with a quick scan of the old oaks for Purple Hairstreak: no luck, but we did find a well-grown Swallowtail caterpillar.
We parked at Horsey Gap and walked south, finding a Dark Green Frit almost immediately: it took a little longer to find one that would co-operate for photos! In total we came across five or six in various states - most were pecked or faded, but one or two were still quite smart. Lots of other species: Green-veined White, Tortoiseshell (including a tiny example), Common Blue, Gatekeeper and Ringlet. Birds were few and far between, but we did manage some Stonechats and Linnets and a bright Willow Warbler (?)
