🌿🦋 A lovely find at RSPB Coombes Valley! 🦋🌿
While out working on site, our Warden Paul came across these two beauties – the stunning Heath Spotted Orchid and a Dingy Skipper butterfly.
The Dingy Skipper, in particular, is a special sight, as this species has sadly seen significant declines in recent years.
Despite the overcast weather, these were fantastic finds out on site 💚
