Alner's Gorse 15/08/2026

[PimperneBloke]

After a face meltingly hot city break to Bristol for a few days, it was nice to get out into the countryside again, even if it was still face meltingly hot! Several more Clouded Yellows were the highlight for me, as I've only ever seen them this year, but a nice supporting cast were out and about.

Hope you enjoy

Super butterfly photos The added bonus of the super rare Alner's Gorse Wild Cat was unexpected.

I noticed the sighting board had clouded yellow at the reserve, I didn't see them Superb selection of butterflies PB. Never been into central Bristol, another place for the list.. Great photo's.
