I'm south of you so I have been bypassed.

Silver-studded Blues have emerged

Very nice Cin, had a few reported from around here, but not managed to get out yet, also first Marbled White at Badbury Rings reported at the weekend. Hopefully today or tomorrow will dry up and I can get out for both, and also Marsh Frits which I've not seen yet this year

Fingers crossed - I hope to investigate more of the 'mosses' up in this area so might join in the frit search and I'm not sure if there are MW up here -I will have to find out

Finally ...before a downpour about 30 mins ago

There has been a Small Skipper flitting around my garden. I only see it when I disturb it's hiding place then I can never see it again when it settles.
