A short trip to Devils Dyke this afternoon. It was remarkably windy. I saw a fresh Red Admiral - my first of the year I think. Peacocks. Brimstones, one Green Hairstreak and a Grizzled Skipper. Also seen were goldfinches and 2 ravens

They are very greeny green green hairstreaks have another

Wow - you are on a roll with the egg laying shots this year! Interesting

Thanks Pauline, Sussex butterflies are quite behind this year due to the poor weather. I think I was lucky to find them as it seems like the first ones had just come out that afternoon. Thanks Wurzel, it would have been better if they came up off the ground a bit but you take what you can get on tha...

Having seen a report of a D.O.B. out at Kithurst yesterday I decided that was the destination for me today. Shortly after I arrived Bugboy arrived and a little later Neil H arrived on site. The star of the show today was Green Hairstreaks although my camera decided to refuse to focus at the wrong mo...

Beautiful GHs there - perfect!

from today Mill Hill

Yes must be wonderful to have OTs in your garden

Thank you Wurzel looked for roosting. Went back this evening and most of the teasel is now at a 30 degrees angle to the ground not sure why. Saw 2 flying but nil roosting tonight. On the plus side I saw a dotted beefly

Thanks David, definitely typical pose both. Thanks Dave it has been a strange season, I hope the Grizzlies are going to be OK and appear soon. Thanks Trevor maybe they should be the Dingy Double or the Teasel twins. I think I will change the title of the post. PS if you are going yesterday they had ...

Great OTs , I’ve yet to see one this year.

Mid afternoon I went to Devils Dyke and saw 3 Green Hairstreaks , a Brimstone, some Peacocks and I think a Speckled Wood.
I went on to Mill Hill where I found 2 roosting Dingy Skippers and it was a pleasure to bump into Jonathan

Hi Paul, I did overhear someone saying he saw them fishing so they may have caught their own. On the other hand overhearing isn’t proof. Some one who presumably wasn’t there with a macro lens has posted a great video of them on the ice on Pulborough Brooks twitter if you scroll back a few posts. Wil...

Thank you Goldie

My favourite from Worthing

Thanks Wurzel, I imagine they are Isle of Wight birds but don't know for sure

No Trevor, I was at Pulborough Brooks, Have seen reports for a while.
Not very often I suppose you walk into a hide and says have you seen anything interesting and get pointed in the direction of two Sea Eagles.
Thanks bugboy!

This morning was frosty and sunny.
Thanks to others I saw 2 White-tailed Eagles.
Also seen were herons, long-tailed tits, a bullfinch, nuthatch and some robins.

Congratulations - fantastic shot!
