Silver-washed Fritlliary
Marbled White
Dark Green Fritlliary
After lunch we went to Bald Hill at Aston Rowant but it was surprisingly lacking in butterflies with only a few Marbled Whites and no Dark Green Fritlliaries.

Homefield Wood - 26 June 2011
The day start overcast when the forecast was showing bright sunshine but by 9.30 it started to burn off so we head out butterflying and country pub lunching. First visit was to Homefield Wood, a good number of Marbled Whites, Small Skippers and a single Dark Green Fritlliary in the BBONT NR area and along the main ride at least 14 Silver-washed Fritlllaries, but no sign of any White-letter Hairstreak.
After lunch we went to Bald Hill at Aston Rowant but it was surprisingly lacking in butterflies with only a few Marbled Whites and no Dark Green Fritlliaries.
