After the weather we had recently nice to have a few sunnt day so popped down to Bricket Wood Common where I had Large Skippers, Speckled Wood, Meadow Brown, Brimstone around the Common and in the Woods were Holly Blue, Speckled Wood, Meadow Brown and a Green Oak Tortrix Moth. Also around were Buzzard, Great-spotted Woodpecker and Broad-boadied Chaser.
