Hi colleagues, I met PeterC at Bison Hill last week and am trying to find his diary site on UKB but cannot despite doing a search.

I would appreciate some guidance please.

Thank you

An abundance of Marsh Fritillaries at Finglandrigg Wood, Cumbria this morning, More than ever before.

Dave, just seen your plea. I may therefore be a bit late but if you have not been I can enlighten you. I was there today and dozens of MFs flitting around, all over.

Pearl Bordered Fritillaries at North Yorkshire today. They took some getting as i was an hour before they started to settle down.

Interestingly enough, last year it was two females I noticed with a net at Bishop Middleham Quarry where there is a colony of Northern Brown Arguses. They kept well away from me and kept appearing now and again to see if the coast was clear. I was quite disappointed at the idea of it all. God idea t...

Got it. Email me on Ronald422@virginmedia.com and I will get back to you ASAP.

Coppers are doing well in the north east, 11 on one small site at Gateshead, lots of blue spot forms and two albinos. Four each seen flitting about at two other sites. More than ever seen before but there were none of the first brood seen.

Thanks Allan, I have not come down to earth yet.

Two of these were seen on the same day. One at Gateshead and this one at Trimdon, County Durham.

Fermyn Woods 19th July. Photo taken by colleague Graeme Baker.

Emerged two weeks later than inland NBAs. One of five seen this morning but all flying half way up the cliffs.

Oh great. Thanks very much E.B. for the quick response and id.

An id of these pale green eggs, on clover at Totternhoe Quarry on 28th of May would be appreciated. I cannot find anything relevant in the books. I am wondering therefore whether they are from a moth.
Thank you
Riv.

OK Peter, thank you very much for advising me. Sorted.

All the best

Ron

Hello all, I snapped this rather dark Comma this morning in north Durham. Is it any kind of known abberation?

Thank you
Ron

Thanks everyone for your input and support.

Ron

OK, thank you very much for the clarification

Ron

I spotted these three yesterday at Teesside. Are they Essex Skippers? It was very windy and they were hiding deep down in the grass so these were the best photographs I could get at the time but I could not see any orange on the antennae.

Thank you

Ron

Thank you very much for your guidance.

Ron

Hi. Could I have this small skipper id confirmed please. Not sure whether it is Essex or Small Skipper.

Thank you

Ron
