12 - 13.15. Once around the upper earthworks then down the track and a quick shimmy around the butterfly terrace. 5 Marsh Fritillary caterpillar nests seen in close group, with what look like 2nd instar caterpillars straying onto nearby vegetation (photo). Also, possible Sitochroa palealis seen (photo) - would welcome confirmation :-)
