Horseshoe Plantation - 6th October

It was sunny and reasonably warm so I couldn't resist making one final visit of the year to Horseshoe Plantation to see what would be left in terms of butterflies. A Clouded Yellow was a nice surprise. Apart from that it was a variety of admittedly very worn individuals including Common Blue, Brown Argus, Small Heath, Small Copper, Meadow Brown and Speckled Wood. There was also a very attractive female Stonechat.
