Painted Lady
One of our FoTM members sent me this photo of a Painted Lady taken by Old Lea/Coppermill Stream on 30th June. A little beyond the Tottenham Marshes but in the adjacent area which is the site of the proposed Walthamstow Wetlands. Thanks, Mick.

July wildlife on the Marshes
Speckled Wood
- Cormorant
Ringlet – female
Essex Skipper
Six-spot Burnet moth
Small Tortoiseshell
Little Egret
Thanks go to Chamara for this lovely set of photos – hope I’ve identified them correctly (not sure about the Skipper?!)
Edit – David Cottridge has confirmed it is an Essex Skipper and the dark brown butterfly is a female Ringlet (I couldn’t see the rings but I should have noticed the rounded edge of the hindwing!)
