Yes, it's good to have some more detail from another location.
I think the various end-of-season write-ups from regular UKB contributors will make interesting reading this year. My advance guess is that the situation (dire or otherwise) will vary markedly between species and between locations in the UK.
29th July - Aston Rowant, and a visit to search out Silver-spotted Skippers. The species had a relatively poor year in 2023, and the site this year, in common with most of southern England and no doubt beyond, has swathes of very long grass. This has all but covered the bare earth rabbit scrapes and sheep paths on which the species likes to bask and on the edges of which the foodplant grows. I wasn't hopeful, but over the course of a couple of hours this morning I counted three - two were afflicted by the "Grasshopper Problem" (they leap energetically ahead of my stealthy approaches and disturb any settled butterfly!), but one settled on a scabious flower to nectar. Chalkhill Blues were widespread, but nowhere near as numerous as in some years, and in keeping with almost every location I've been to (and many reports from elsewhere) there were no Brown Argus, Common Blue or Small Copper today. Other species that did appear: Marbled White (still in double figures), Meadow Brown (a bit shy of the usual numbers), Small Skipper, Gatekeeper, Brimstone, Peacock and a single female DGF.
The Chalkhills continue to emerge, and a couple of other males led me to this example still with floppy wings sitting on the seedpods of its caterpillar foodplant. Dave
