Great to have this fabulous publication land on the doormat this morning - and just after a Hummingbird Hawk-moth flew past me in the garden

64/37 last night in VC61. Badger down to one foot (!) Almost as many cockchafers as moths but 5 potential firsts for the site including Anchylis mitterbacheriana, Sandy Carpet - and I think that’s Rivulet rather than Small Rivulet…

I’ve just found this micro on tansy in VC61. Is it a Dichrorampha sp? I’m not sure it’s possible to go further than that with a photo; many of these seem scarce in Yorkshire. Any thoughts appreciated

Definitely worth looking for Purple Hairstreak coming down to nectar in this hot weather (poor shot of one from 27th June in a local wood) - amazed to find one nectaring this morning on buddleia in our York garden. Not often one gets a garden butterfly tick!
