Sunday 8th October 2023
Species: Large White (1) Meadow Brown (1) Red Admiral (7) Common Lizard - Tucking Mill 08-10-2023 My last visit of the summer was on the 8th October. It was a warm, sunny day with the temperature due to hit around 22c. This temperature is much higher than average for early October! Common Darter - Tucking Mill 08-10-2023 I visited the embankment, Horsecombe Vale and the fields. There were very few insects about. Most of the butterflies I saw were Red Admirals and they were very active. I saw Common Darter dragonflies in various locations including the embankment and Horsecombe Vale. Red Admiral - Tucking Mill 08-10-2023 The most interesting observations on this trip were the Common Lizards. I saw three in total this day, having only seen two in total over the preceding years this location.
