HARBURY SPOILBANK NATURE RESERVE-WARWICKSHIRE

I visited a new site in Warwickshire this afternoon. This nature reserve dates back to the construction of the Leamington to Oxford railway in the 1840s.

I had never seen Dingy or Grizzled Skipper before, and it didn't take long to locate them on the reserve.

This reserve was excellent, and I observed a diverse range of species during my walk, as you can see from below.

Orange Tip


Willow Warbler

Chiffchaff

Garden Warbler

Treecreeper

Sedge Warbler

Good afternoon! I enjoyed a pleasant stroll and added two new butterflies to my list.
