I've not been out that much lately so I decided to have a look around Radley Gravel Pits this morning to see what was about. While walking around I flushed a Butterfly which I'm pleased to say was a female "Helice" Clouded Yellow. The Butterfly landed again and started feeding on Lucerne. After feeding for a minute or so it flew off over the fence closely followed by a Brown Hawker,so may well of been taken by the Hawker as they both went out of view.
