Last year, I saw Silver-spotted Skippers on Beacon Hill in the Chilterns on the same day as my first Adonises at Yoesden which is only a few miles away. Beacon Hill overlooks the M40 cutting but the butterflies don't seem to mind and it's quite a striking landscape.

Having missed the spring brood due to lockdown I made a visit to Denbies near Dorking last Thursday, There were fewer than I expected but saw 8 fresh males & a female. Good numbers of Silver-spotted Skippers (18) most of which were in great condition-probably our most beautiful skipper.<br /><br />Still good numbers of Chalkhill Blues, a couple of Brown Argus & a few Small Heaths. Didn't see any vanessids or any moths.Conehead54https://www.blogger.com/profile/18423862602236191493noreply@blogger.com
