George photographed this pristine Speckled Wood on 26/09/17 whilst walking from Littlemoor through to Littlemead and Nottingham, Weymouth.

Speckled Woods can still be seen around, weather permitting, until early October and males can still  be seen defending their territory from other males of the same species by frantically spiralling upwards together.
