Monday week ago I had a lovely meander around Lavernock Nature Reserve, a local Wildlife Trust site perched on a cliff-top high above Lavernock Point and St Mary’s Well Bay on the edge of the Bristol Channel. It was a warm sunny day so I was hoping for lots of butterflies, and I was certainly not disappointed. In fact, I was thrilled when checking one of the places where I’d previously seen this particular butterfly species, to have my first Dingy skipper of the year pop up to defend its little piece of dirt. And, since then, I’ve also seen more – four one day, one the next – during walks around Cosmeston Lakes Country Park.
