We had two targets in mind when we set off for Cumbria this morning:
Small Blue in Workington and
Marsh Fritillaries at Finglandrigg Wood. The Small Blues weren't hard to find with 5 or 6 being seen in the time we were there. A few
Dingy Skippers were also present. Next to Finglandrigg where the Marsh Fritillaries were obvious when we found the right field. We also found a female
Banded Demoiselle at the entrance to the field. We still had a bit of time left so we headed north to a site to try and see
White-faced Darters. It took us a while to find the breeding pools but when we did the Darters were very easy to see. They even landed on me and my Dad a couple of times.
