Ringlet butterfly

In damp semi-natural, well-developed grassland, Ringlet butterflies can be abundant. In northwest Kildare, I regularly count 300 plus on my butterfly transect. Here I talk about this quiet, attractive butterfly.

I visited Kildare last weekend. A rare sunny day. Similar numbers of Ringlets, many though fewer Meadow Browns. Star of the day was a single male Small Skipper.
