I arrived safe and sound into Kent on Monday and Wurzel you were right I've seen loads of Butterflies,
Yesterday morning we took the dog to Blean Woods and there was loads Of Butterflies, trouble was because of the nice weather they never seemed to settle
I got a shot of a Gate Keeper that only had one spot instead of the usual two which made him interesting, also saw Red Admiral's and Meadow Browns, Ringlet's ,loads of large and Small Whites, Comma's. the list goes on
In the afternoon we went to the White Cliffs and at first we didn't see much, then we found patches of Wild Thyme and the Butterflies were every where, Marble Whites, Chalkhill Blues, Common Blues, even a Small Copper which really stood out with the Blue Badges brighter than I've ever seen, it was only there moment's before taking off again so I couldn't get a full shot which was a shame.
This morning we decided to take the dog to East Blean Woods, I thought I might see the the Purple Hair Streaks but I didn't see
any, I'll go back later in the week, I did see a White Admiral which was slightly the worse for wear but still good for some shots, my surprise of the day though was a Heath Fritillary which landed just to the side of me , I didn't expect to see any I thought they'd all gone by now, I'd already walked the length of the path where they usually are and seen nothing and there was none in the car park so I was convinced none were there, it didn't stay I took two quick shots hoping to catch some thing, I did but not too well
at least you can tell it's an Heath Fritillary
Not sure about the weather tomorrow but in only a day and a half i've had a great time
I even got a shot of the Moon last night
in the partial Moon eclipse

It looks like the rest of the Dover area is performing well too, and your eclipse shot is far better than my feeble efforts...
