Bystock Pools, Devon
I took a look around the whole reserve late afternoon. The meadow area was full of Butterflies including loads of Meadow Brown, several Large Skipper and Marbled White but best of all a White Admiral. Elsewhere on the reserve were a few Blue-studded Blue. Moth wise there were Common Grass Veneer, Six Spot Burnet, Cinnabar, Common Wave, Marbled White Spot, one I haven’t yet managed to ID (UPDATE thanks Matt for the ID of Straw-barred Pearl) and another that is one of 3 possible species
Syncopacma larseniella, S. taeniolella or S. cinctella and apparently the only way to tell is dissect under a microscope.

I haven’t cut my lawn for a while and I have Common Selfheal flowers. It’s a shame to mow them.
