Bank Holiday Blues another Large Tortoiseshell dip

On Monday 10th April, still feeling rough from my recent flu a little better I ventured out early afternoon after the rain had finally stopped. I looked at a very nice area Black Heath an SWT reserve and although it was sunny, I failed to see the fantastic find of a Large Tortoiseshell butterfly (a butterfly I'd love to see and photograph) found by Jane & Paul F the previous day, despite excellent directions from Jane parking by the wooden chalets crossing the road and walking down a track with the wooden chalets to the right I did not see any butterflies, a nice heather area with corregated iron rectangles were duly lifted and 1 Field Vole was seen under one plus Kestrel hunting on the Common.
