Thanks Wurzel, it was a lucky surprise.
Thanks Trevor I put it up rather than found it but I suppose I did manage to track it. After I found it I heard second hand that 3 or 4 had been seen the day before.
Thanks zigzag, it was unusually approachable.

...Sadly I didn't find any brostreaks but I did see a Clouded Yellow...

Well done. I doubt that club will have too many members this year!

Thanks David, you never know what will turn up.

I went to Chantry this morning hoping just a little too late for roosting time. Sadly it was very blustery which was not good for spotting or photographing butterflies. They were being carried by the breeze far and fast and most were staying low in the undergrowth when they landed.
I saw Meadow Browns , Gatekeepers, Small Skippers, a few Chalkhill blues and Common Blues and Brown Argus and quite a few things I couldn't identify as they shot past at high speed.

I went to Steyning again and saw one brostreak flying but couldn't find where it landed. There were some more obliging Brimstones . I found a wasp spider with a meadow brown in its larder Also seen were Walls , Gatekeepers, Common Blues , Holly blues , Speckled Woods and one Small Copper.
This evening I went to Mill Hill and saw Common Blues, Brown Argus Chalkhill Blues, 2 Adonis Blues and Walls. One , I think Brown Argus, seemed to have a large eye to body ratio.
