Back to my local patch at Willsbridge I did a transect for the AWT finding red admiral (3), comma (4), green veined white (1), small white (1), speckled wood (1), holly blue (1), ringlet (1), meadow brown (2), beautiful demoiselle (3), southern hawker (1), common darter (1).
Then on my way home I spotted a holly blue flitting around a bare patch of earth. They often take nutrients this way when the ground is wet. I watched it for a minute or so then it flew up onto a leaf, opened its wings and basked! And here it is, a male, and I'm pleased as punch. Another nice local spot.
