Another visit to Lydford Old Railway Butterfly Conservation Reserve, to try for more images of the Heath Fritillary and Small Pearl Bordered Fritillary, as I’d not captured many that I was pleased with a few days previous.
I set off early, at 7.30am and rode straight to Lydford, getting in before any of the National Trust staff had arrived. It proved to be a good idea, as my best Heath Fritillary images were captured just after I arrived. The Small Pearl Bordered Fritillaries proved very difficult to photograph. I stopped in at Fuzz’s place on the return home, at Payhembury near Honiton.
