Had a brief visit to the Doghouse range this afternoon and found a few more plants and butterflies for the year. A Small Skipper was resting on some Yarrow. It is very similar to Large Skipper, which I found behind the 14th tee on the Red, but has a plain underwing, whereas this is slightly patterned for the Large Skipper.

Otherwise there were a few new flowers. Field Bindweed grows in the thicker rough and seems to look more attractive here than when I'm pulling it up out of my flower beds.

White Stonecrop is prevalent around the edge of the range and grows next to the Biting Stonecrop.

Common Ragwort is also abundant in the long grass.
