What a surprise
With this mornings cool NE breeze the last thing we expected to see were butterflies. The Druridge Pools track was amazing with eight species present.

I've always found the track at Dru a great place for insects, especially butterflies. Was disappointed, in fact angry, when i saw the potential damage they caused to the banks when they put that new path in. Not seen a lot there since but time for the habitat along there to recover. Worst thing they ever did there, putting that path in......along with the path to E Chev at the turning circle. You just used to get birders out towards the Oddie & other hide now dog walkers are using it to take the dogs for a crap as they do on the other path, using the actual path itself on quite a few occasions !!! Good count of butterflies considering what the conditions must have been, but as i mentioned earlier that is a nice sun trap if the wind is in the right direction.
