First Lulworth Skipper was seen today by Lulworth Rangers so you're in luck!

Wonderful to hear, what superb news! Best of luck with the future.

My pleasure, best of luck on your search and let us know if you find any!

Hi Nige, Good sites for the Lulworth Skipper, that I usually visit, include: - Durlston Country Park http://www.durlston.co.uk/ - Around Lulworth Cove, particuarly Bindon Hill if possible.
