13.30 -15.00. PBF seen was the only one I noted in the whole of Bentley this year - seen in Upper Highwood copse. None in Oil Drill, High bushes, Hawksgrove, Lower Highwood, or Donkey Copse that I also visited on this and other days. Vegetation seemed notably thicker than normal in these areas. Marsh Fritillaries spotted in the Draining Field area, near the ponds - not seen them there before.
