On Saturday, in sheltered spots out of the cool wind, it was tshirt weather for the first time this year, and, as well as my pale arms, the butterflies were also out in the sunshine. My first two Speckled woods, butterfly species number five for 2024, were, typically, having a scrap over territory when I first spotted them. Luckily, they soon settled down on separate bushes so I was able to get a few decent photos of them.
