Wall - Clough Wood

I counted 7 Wall butterfly in the area below the mine shaft at Clough Wood today, all fairly worn. They spend a lot of time flying through the grasses so take quite a beating unless you can find a fresh specimen. The Wall populations fluctuate significantly from year to year but generally the species has declined significantly so its good to see a reasonable local population.
They are very difficult to see when sat with wings folded.
