The butterflies were very scarce. We found two <strong>Lorquin&#8217;s Admirals<\/strong> and one <strong>Lorquin&#8217;s Admiral caterpillar<\/strong> about to pupate. The only other butterfly we saw was one skipper flyby, not identifiable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The day was quite warm but quite cloudy, and it seems the butterfly season is already coming to a close. We observed 32 species of birds and ate many delicious wild berries.
