Thanks for the reply, David.
On the offchance I visited Velvet Bottom in Somerset on the way back to Bristol from Collard Hill, yesterday. It was breezy and overcast with rain imminent. I saw two very fresh looking individuals that were attempting to bask in sheltered spots out of the wind. But they were very alert, spotting me before I saw them, allowing me no chance for a photo. I'll make another trip next week if the weather's fine as scabius flowers are just emerging there, and I seem to remember that they like those.
