A MORNING WITH BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION AT GREAT CHALFIELD MANOR-WILTSHIRE

A first moth event of the year this morning at Great Chalfield Manor, Wiltshire, organised by Butterfly Conservation. I attended a similar event here last year, although in a different part of the grounds, so it was nice to return and catch up with some of the local regulars who made me feel very welcome again.
