Heysham Obs
The office buddleia has been very underpopulated during the day, the exception being bumble bees. Today was a little different with a "full house" of the usual culprits mid-afternoon: Comma, Painted Lady (primary migrant - pale and worn?), Red Admiral (3), Peacock (4) and Small Tortoiseshell (2). Hardly stunning numbers, but better than it looked in 'perfect' weather a few days ago.
