With light winds and late afternoon sunshine the hillside by the “Gutted Haddie” (GR 327405, 672875) is an excellent spot for a variety of insect species. With the new path in place it is quite possible to study the species feeding on the thistle flowers at close range, but without disturbing them. Species seen here include Painted Lady, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock, Grayling, Small Copper, Meadow Brown, Red Admiral and Comma. Slightly higher up as the thistles die away look out for more Grayling, Meadow Brown and some Burnett Moths.
