Also plenty of Brimstones, Orange Tips, Green-veined Whites and a Peacock seen. Lots of <em>Pyrausta nigritia<\/em> and Small Purple Barred moth too. Also a few female <em>Bombylius major<\/em> still hanging on and some <em>Osmia bicolor<\/em> and <em>Andrena cineraria<\/em> in abundance too.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-986
