Report Details
Always keep a keen eye on your excellent website and finally made the trip from South Notts to see Long-tailed Blues. There was plenty of chasing around and patience was needed but eventually saw a few land. Some looking very fresh ( says he who has never seen one before). I guess at around 7 or 8 seen. Plenty of Common Blues ,presumably 3rd brood and 6 or 7 Clouded Yellows Absolutely buzzing and as a bonus the biggest Wasp Spider I have seen

That's a long way to travel, Jim, but I am so pleased that your trip was worthwhile. I update the website 3-5 times, every day, so everyone can enjoy our good fortune. We are so lucky, in Sussex, and often take for granted our wonderful butterflies. All visitors, welcome.  Martin K
