Once the sun came out, lots of common butterfly species on show including this Small Tortoiseshell but the High brown Fritillary was our target and obvious highlight.
A family group of young Little Owls a nice surprise also!

Warton Crag - Little Owls and High Brown Frit
Joined the SOS group to Warton Crag for a butterfly hunt but we diverted to Eric Morcambe pools during the rainy morning (and a bacon butty at Leighton Moss). Redshanks aplenty here with a couple of Knot and a single 'Spotted' seen in the flight pic.
