I went with my sister to Dorset yesterday to took for Lulworth Skippers.
We arrived late afternoon / early evening and found some in Lulworth Cove yesterday (approx 6)
Today we saw them at the car park and Corfe Castle and then some at Durlston Country Park.
Good to see the Lulworths, Katrina - I think that the doubtful one has to be a Lulworth too as it's a bit early for the other two that fly alongside later on. In July it can get very confusing! At least it's a butterfly with a long season, so I can catch up with them a bit later.
Thanks David, it is a beautiful spot. Thanks essexbuzzard is good to hear they have a long flight period. Very useful when and where to find them info on Dorset butterfly sightings page too.
Lulworths already, the Spring Skippers and Green Hairstreaks are still far from over! Looks like I'll be sorting myself out a trip to Durlston on the coming weeks
Thanks Pauline, I think the 21 hours in Dorset was better than the shots. I didn’t like the traffic on the way there though.
Thanks Trevor , excluding cryptic wood white I just have one resident species left to see in the U.K. Have fun with your bigger butterflies. We think we saw the moth version of what you seek while we were at Durlston.
I arrived at Iping Common at 4.45pm. I found 7 male and one female Silver-Studded Blues before the cows decided to join me! The female was roosting on a juicy clump of grass so I hope she didn't get eaten
Lovely shots Katrina,Of the Skipper's I've not seen the Lulworth Skipper's yet at all, I always seem to be there at the wrong time Love the SSB shots too. Goldie
