Six Spot Burnet Moths

On the cycle to work during the week, I stopped off at the meadow to see I could see anything of the Kestrel. No birds of prey that morning but there must have been hundreds of Six Spot Burnet Moths emerging, drying and flying absolutely everywhere.

It's a shame I had to leave and carry on to work, otherwise I'd have been there all day getting them from every conceivable angle!
