4 Common Blue on disturbed land at the entrance
Several Small Copper on the parched grass and a good number of Speckled Wood in the tree lined areas.

Yes, it`s a repeat of 1976 when many species took a `hit` as it was too dry and sunny. You can`t win!
ReplyDeleteWas it in this area Mike that you had the dark green frit recently or your garden?
Dark Green was in my garden Ian.
DeleteI had 14 species of butterfly in my garden yesterday. 4 Red Admiral, 7 Peacock, 2 Painted Lady, 2 Comma. FFY were Holly Blue and Small Copper. The big ginger job was either a Siler washed or Dark green frit., took off too quick. Pulling up my pea sticks and a Golden ringed dragonfly promptly landed on the end of one, what a great view. More hummingbird HM but yet to see a common blue.
ReplyDeleteI had my first holly blues too (on Thurs).
