After our trip to Smardale we decided to call in at Eycott. Earlier the year, I found a marsh fritillary caterpillar and would love to see an adult, confirming that the reserve has a resident population. Click here for the marsh frit caterpillar story Well there was no sign of fritillaries - marsh or small pearl-bordered (there's a good populaton on the reserve), but Coronation meadow was splendid!
