Many thanks everyone, it was a good day out even though we got a few bites.
Hi! Alan, sorry to hear about the Ivy being trimmed, why they do this at this time of year I can't understand, when I was there I couldn't count the HB's I saw they were every where and Female's too. Glad you got your Cloudies though, sounds like a good place
to look for them next time I'm down there.
Thanks Neil, I did see one fritillary that was so worn it was a wonder it could fly at all, so I was lucky that one came along in decent condition
I've yet to see a NBA at Arnside I've usually seen them at Gait Barrow near the Barn, unfortunately this year they weren't there, it's been a bit of a topsy turvy year though, but I've been lucky seeing some great Butterflies South as well North.
Hi! Bugboy, it was a lucky day I felt for sure I'd missed the HBF and I was pleased to see the Grayling because I'd not seen it in the Dunes at Southport or at Gait Barrow so I'm very pleased with my bagged species
Hi! Wurzel, they're really very dark and never seem to settle very long before they're off again

To photograph them you need plenty of Sunshine
Hi! David, thank you, I'm waiting now to go on a Brown Hair Streak Hunt

I believe there out up there now but the weather's not too good here at present so I'll have to have patience, fingers crossed I'll get to see them
I went to Hall-Lee-Brook last Friday when we'd a decent day and I was surprised to find a lovely Copper so thought I'd just got to post a shot of it Goldie
