White-legged Damselfly- Stockton Cutting, Warwickshire

We headed to Stockton Cutting, Warwickshire for the White-legged Damselflies and in the hope we might see Hairy Dragonfly.
We had a great day very enjoyable and the weather was lovely, we had stunning views of White-legged Damselfly such lovely Damselfly's very striking I love the eyes was so nice to have great views and be able to take some photos.
We also had lovely views of Grizzled Skipper and Dingy Skipper and also Dave found another Blood-vein Moth this one was in pristine condition he was stunning :)
We never got any photos of Hairy Dragonfly, we think one may of flew out of the grass when we walking through but it went high up never saw it again, but still had been a great day.
Also an added bonus we managed to photograph a Holly Blue Butterfly in Dave's Garden, lovely butterflies and Dave was over the moon as he hadn't got any photos :)

Marsh Fritillary Butterfly and Small Blue Butterfly, Gloucestershire

Brilliant day full of Butterfly's and Moths, I love my birds but it made a nice change doing something different and I enjoyed it so much and most of the Butterfly's and Moths were new ones for me,
We started at the first site in Gloucestershire for the Marsh Fritillary Butterfly's it was a lovely open field and full of the Butterfly's such beautiful stunning creatures so nice to see, and nice to be able to get so up close with them :) we also saw Small Heath Butterfly's here.
We then went onto another place in Gloucestershire were we had stunning views of Small Blue Butterfly's they really are gorgeous so blue and stand out, also we saw Mother Shipton Moth, Forester Moth there really unusual beautiful greeny blue color. Also we saw Common Blue Butterfly, and Narrow bored 5 spot Burnet Moth and we also saw quite a rare Moth Wood Tiger Moth, stunning Moth, Dave managed to get a photo which I will put below. Lot's off other Moths too, Love all the Butterfly's and Moths and was so nice to be able to get photos and use my different camera settings using macro. Can't wait for some more days with Butterfly's and Moths and hopefully some Dragonflies soon :)
