The Grayling

On Thursday 22nd August in the early evening whilst searching for our errant cat, Cosmo who had disappeared for 9 hours (he often does that in the very hot weather, although I get concerned if he is gone over 4 hours) I saw a Grayling butterfly near the wall (not seen one here before) on Fallowfields which had now reverted back to bush grassland. Glad to say in the south west corner, Cosmo came running up to me miaowing and I was able to pick him up and take him home, where he belongs!
