Decided to have a lazy day and a walk by sea at Selsey Bill. Along the top of the beach in the Tamarisk were several Long-tailed Blue. They would sometimes disappear when another scarcity in the form of Lesser Emperor dragonfly patrolled the bushes. Red Admirals going out to sea at wave-top height.

In the same week we have had records of Red Admirals arriving, and leaving, these shores.  Martin K
