Bricket Wood
Yesterday morning, I spent about three hours wandering around Bricket Wood, south of St Albans in Hertfordshire (there is a village there too with the same name). I had walked through here on the Hertfordshire Way, and passed by recently on the Ver-Colne Valley Walk.
Apart from woodland, there is a small open are that is more like a heath. I was hoping to see White Admiral and Silver Washed Fritillary butterflies. I just got a fleeting glimpe of the former, and saw none of the latter. But there were lots of Gatekeepers, Ringlets and Meadow Browns, plus a few Marbled Whites and Peacocks.
Despite my lack of success with regards seeing the target species, it was a very pleasant morning.
