Re: Trevor
Cheers Dave. It was the superb weather that persuaded me to visit today. If you remember it was towards the end of September last year when we enjoyed all that LTB action. Only two, possibly three Cloudies present today. Hi Trevor, I saw a Clouded Yellow at Herstmonceux yesterday. It stopped briefl...

Re: Long-tailed Blue ALERT
Hi Neil, I've just see an extraordinary rant on Facebook about how the Whitehawk LTB's are released every year: Screenshot 2023-08-20 at 19.08.20.jpg I trust your judgement far more than his. Have you ever had cause to believe that the LTB at Whitehawk are releases? Cheers John W p.s. I saw an LTB a...

Grayling New Forest sites
Hi everyone,
I believe that the Grayling is found in the New Forest. Can anyone give me specific details of a site? Preferably one with parking not too far away!
Thanks in advance..

Re: Lulworth Skipper sites
Thanks everyone for the advice. I visited Corfe Castle on June 8th and found plenty around the NT car park area. The weather was hot and breezy so not ideal for photography but I got a couple of acceptable photos.
Cheers

Lulworth Skipper sites
Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a Lulworth Skipper site that does not involve steep climbing? I have asthma and arthritis in my right ankle so I am not really capable of long walks or steep ascents. Maybe somewhere there is a car park at the top of a hill? Thanks in advance.
Cheers
