Wildern LNR, one final time this year

 As it was a beautiful calm morning, and given the fact that sightings of small coppers had been posted on the Friends of Wildern LNR Facebook page over the last week or so, we decided to spend some time there today. For some reason, small coppers had managed to avoid us all year ...


Didn't take us long walking around Wildern Moor to see a small copper flying around!



Other than that, we saw a speckled wood, and several common darters at Coltsfoot Pond. Very few species this late into the season, but mission achieved!

Almost surely the final tables in 2022 (one = 1; few = 2-4; several = 5-9; many = 10+):
