Another White-letter Hairstreak today, this time in the top of a tall Elm in Milton Country Park (excuse the poor photo through a spotting scope). No luck with Purple Hairstreak yet, despite sightings elsewhere in Cambs @bc-cambs-essex.bsky.social @epollard.bsky.social @andrewknights.bsky.social

Lots of butterflies about today to the north of Cambridge, including my first ever White-Letter Hairstreak (after lots of searching over recent summers) in a small clump of elms next to the A10, plus this pair of Large Skippers in Landbeach @epollard.bsky.social @bc-cambs-essex.bsky.social

Still spaces on my butterfly walk at Magog Down near Cambridge tomorrow (Sunday 1st). Sunny but a little blustery. Looking good for Small Blue, as well as possible Green Hairstreak and Marbled White. Meet 11am by the notice board. @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social @tonyjuniper.bsky.social

Nice few hours at Magog Down @magogdown.bsky.social just outside Cambridge today. 50+ Small Blues from a lap of the site, plus lots Brimstones, a few Meadow Browns, Small Heath and Common Blue. And my first Painted Lady of the year. @bc-cambs-essex.bsky.social

Nice to see a local speciality while visiting for the long weekend - Lulworth Skipper at Chalbury Quarry this afternoon despite the strong wind. Also Small Blue and lots of Large Skippers @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social @epollard.bsky.social
