I am thinking of trying my luck at Small Blue this weekend, but as it will involve a drive, does anyone have any info of any 2nd brood sites where Small Blue can be seen this year please?
I know where the Tottenhoe site is but don't want to drive for two hours unless there is a reasonable chance.
I live in Leicestershire, so any site within a few hours would be worth a chance is anyone has any info Please.
Any info would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Small Blue
Small blue can be found at Prestbury Hill Nature Reserve near Cheltenham, close to Cleeve Hill the highest point in the Cotswolds. I don't know if there are any 2nd generation ones around at the moment though. I think there is a contact number for the site on Butterfly Conservation website, it may be advisable to give it a ring to save a wasted journey down south

Re: Small Blue
there were small blue at Prestbury on Sunday, right at the bottom of the reserve there was a lovely small colony - flittering around like confetti.
