OK, thank you Allan, it is similar marked. I had not seen that form at all in the past.

I have seen this one twice in the last week on a site in Gateshead. I would appreciate any advice on whether it is an aberration, ab alba with the yellow replaced by white. At first I thought it was a worn hibernator.

Thank you,
Ron

All barren in north Durham and things seem two weeks later. Three sites visited and just one Comma noted. My first sighting for the year.

All the best to everyone and thanks to those concerned for their help and advice.

Eighty plus Red Admirals and seven Comma's munching on ivy blossom in north Durham yesterday morning. Never seen so many in one place.

I hit Aston Rowant on August 31st for three hours and photographed quite a few Skippers. I'll check my photos now.
Nice one

Brown Argus Aberration at Snakehome Pit

Got this Small Tortoiseshell aberration in the car park at Chambers Farm Wood

I have been to Smardale the last three years and will be there again soon. The best access is from Smardale village. Half way along the track to the viaduct you will get all of your arguses along there, long before you reach the viaduct. They are on both verges and very easy to photograph as they do...

OK thanks Dave, there were over 100 flitting about the heather at Prees Heath.

Hello friends, I saw these two SSBs at Prees Heath on Wednesday. I have had a go at identifying them and would appreciate confirmation or the correct id please,

ab caeruleo-cuneata and ab caerulescens
Thank you
Ron

First chance to go to the site owing to persistent rainy days and strong winds. Now looking a bit worn but ten sighted today.

OK Gentlemen. Thanks very much for the input. I thought it was a bit unusual.

Look after yourselves,

Ron

I photographed this one yesterday in County Durham. It has an excess of black on it and I wonder whether it is a named aberration. I have not found similar on the web site.

Guidance would be appreciated,

Thank you

Ron

Thirty five seen at Irton Fell this a.m.

Hi Walpolec, I was at Totterhoe on Thursday and Friday and only saw 25, along the whole of the path below the chalk cliffs. Was I in the wrong place or maybe a bit too early?

Thanks

Ron

Plenty about in North Durham this morning,

Dave, just seen your Middlesbrough location. I now know you found the place as I saw you there. Well done,
Ron

Thank you very much for the prompt responses, checking them now.
