Middleton Nature Reserve (Janet)

| First Large Skipper butterfly of the year |
|
| This moth was identified by Kevin as celypha lacunana. "It's supposed to be very common but I haven't come across it." |
|
| The warm dry spell is driving the amphibians under cover. This toad and newts sp were under a log, which was carefully replaced. |
|
| Plenty of Bee Orchids around, but they are easily missed |
Kevin had this moth in his trap this morning. A Marbled White Spot
|
| a very local species, which has only recently spread into Northern Lancashire. |
