Butterfly Quest

Today I went up to Steng Moss adjacent to Harwood forest to find a Large Heath, and there they were.
The Quest total stands at 30, and now its getting difficult to progress.


I had not quite established that this one below was Large Heath as it took flight just as I pressed the button, so will seek some confirmation or otherwise. ( UKButterflies confirm this is Large Heath)


For those familiar with the area. The gibbet is no longer there!

Life wont be the same without the gibbet Stewart. There is a bit of stump left but couldnt tell whether it had been nicked or rotted off.
