Silver-studded Blues
Plenty of Silver-studded Blues on the wing on the Great Orme yesterday. More than 50 along a short stretch of path SW of the car park. Mainly males like this: http://upload8.postimage.org/781863/ssblue4gtorme10607.jpg But also this darker type: http://upload8.postimage.org/781847/ssblue7gtorme10607....

Glanville Fritillary in Somerset
Andrew
Are there many on the wing and is there a best place to find them? I was contemplating a visit to the Isle Of Wight this weekend and this is a much easier trip.
Thanks
