Wildlife at the Paget

On Monday 29th July, at lunchtime at James Paget Hospital, a Small Tortoiseshell butterfly flew into the Library and flew up to one of the low ceiling lights. I had bought a butterfly net for such an eventuality and I quickly netted and released it unharmed outside for it to fly away strongly. The first and only one I have seen this year. Early afternoon in the Burrage Centre garden a Brown Hawker (first site record for me) flew past and south and 2 Common Blues seen on the grass too plus 2 Gatekeepers and a Large White.
