Now it's the turn of these beauties to take over the meadow ... well not quite take over as there seems to be a population explosion of Meadow Browns and there are hundreds around at the moment!
Thixendale, deep in the Yorkshire dales, is a roadside haven for these glorious butterflies. 2 miles of of a narrow verge of scabious and other flowers/grasses covered in them and never cut until the last one has flown. I hope yours live up to expectations
