Had a Magical few hours at Tarrant Rushton yesterday, 05/09/2026 seeing hundreds of Clouded Yellows.  The disappointing news was that the farmer planned to cut the field imminently.

    Was there today. The Lucerne crop has been harvested! Still hundreds can be seen from the runway as there are the occasional plants still left, but only on the outskirts. (Go left from the War Memorial for half a mile, the bare field is on the RHS.) Also Red Kites overhead, and huge numbers of Ravens cavorting together.
