Marbled Whites

Owen Mitchell of Selseybirder  renown reported a few Marbled Whites out at Drayton Pits near Oving yesterday so as only live round the corner I popped along this morning for a look; made a change to drive for five minutes rather than five hours!

There were at least six out, along with a Cinnabar Moth, a Meadow Brown, a surprise Small Skipper, many Common Blue Damselflies, a Marsh Orchid, several Pyramidal Orchids,maybe half a dozen Reed Warblers and a Cetti's Warbler.
