Bentley Wood

Went over to Bentley Wood on the Wiltshire/Hampshire border today for a look for Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary today but no joy unfortunately, one was claimed whilst I was there but had mysteriously vanished a few minutes later and couldn't  be re-found... Did have mating Pearl-bordered Fritillary, Marsh Fritillary, Speckled Wood & Brimstone though as well as Blackcap and Speckled Yellow moth (don't panic I'm not getting into moths, honest). A return trip in the next few weeks beckons.
