14th August 1945 (Tuesday)

A very fine day after the hottest day of the month, but a sea mist obscured sun for the greater part of the afternoon & a rising SE. wind made the late afternoon cool.  Went by 10.15 bus to Malahide & returned by 5.55 bus & spent interesting time on The Island & collected in four areas as follows:-

Painted Lady Butterfly seen by George on flat south of dunes;  also saw many Aglaia, Wall, Grayling, Common Blues & some White (? species).
