I have just spent this morning at Hordle cliffes hoping to see the above,is there any specific place at Hordle to see them?All I had was a common blue & a tatty looking painted lady.

Cheers

Yes - at http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x ... 0&ay=92050

You need to head to the western-most car park and then head along the path to the west, either by going along the beach or climbing down the cliff! Either way, you need to end up in the scrubby area that is a couple of hundred yards to the west of the western-most beach hut.

Cheers,

I also run the Hants and IOW Butterfly Conservation branch website, and receive any records sent in via the website. To date, there have been *no* Glanville Fritillary sightings reported via this mechanism, although sightings have been good on the Isle of Wight.

Cheers,

I spent 3hrs searching on the 8th of June in the area Pete informed me of but to no avail there was however Wall brown on the coastal path.

Cheers

We eventually found a female Glanville on Sunday at 11am on the beach at the edge of the vegetation within a hundred metres of the last beach hut. Failed to find any on Saturday or earlier on Sunday in "better" habitat further West.
Also present 2 Wall, 2 Clouded Yellow, 2 Large Skipper, 3 Red Admiral, Green-veined White and many Painted Lady, Common Blue and Large White.
