A friend bought a house with 2 fields on the Clwydian slopes of N Wales. In contrast to the surrounding heavily grazed farmland, they left the fields to re-wild & become meadow. I’ve just enjoyed watching a rare sight there: scores (yes, scores!) of Ringlet (Aphantopus hyperantus) & Meadow Brown butterflies flitting over the long flowering grasses. I love the velvety chocolate brown Ringlets.
