However, I have seen a lot of other butterflies. Today on our TPT Eastwards trek there were quite a lot. With regularly spaced buddleia along the small Yorkshire lanes there were plenty of Peacock and Red Admiral. But there were even more Large White and a small orange butterfly called Gatekeeper.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1249\" src=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DSC_7179-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DSC_7179-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DSC_7179-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DSC_7179-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DSC_7179-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The best section of the walk was through Owston wood, a lovely shaded green route. Lunch was at Trumfleet, a village with a very large name stone. But more importantly it had two seats, one in a bus shelter for bad weather. The second, opposite it, in the sun was the one we choose.
