Orange underwings.

With warm sunshine again today, thought it would be worth having a look at Wolves wood, Hadleigh for Light orange underwing. Possibly a bit early I thought but nice to get out anyway. In the end wasn’t too early, managed to see one along the usual best ride for them, not actually flying round the treetops but flushed off the ground from a wet patch of mud, no doubt taking in some moisture, something I’ve seen them doing before. The wood is still a bit muddy in places but is not too bad considering the rain we have had.
Later on this afternoon went out to Lower Hollesley and saw at least 7 Orange underwing flying round Birches. Can’t remember the last time I managed to see both of these species in one day!
