It was off to fog bound Gloucestershire on Sunday with Butterfly Dave & Craig Jones in the hope of seeing some Adonis Blue butterflies. The fog got thicker as we got closer to reserve but as if by magic it lifted as we made our way on to the slopes. The views were stunning and the butterflies showed amazingly well enabling us all to get some highly satisfying views and photos. There were also a good number of Chalk Hill & Common Blues. As the temperature increased so did the flight of the butterflies so we retired highly satisfied. 

Birds observed included a Tree Pipit, Raven, Sparrowhawk, calling Spotted Flycatcher, Buzzard, Chiffchaff and Nuthatch. Many thanks to Dave & Craig for their expertise & company.
