For what it's worth, I saw SWF at Hatch Hill and Great Breach Wood in Somerset today. Oddly, at one point a male was sharing a meadow with chalkhill blues. It was feeding off knapweed and scabious. Shame it was dead touchy about approach and I failed to get a shot of it.

hi pete

thanks for the info ,iam hoping for a good day, since this years been just the worst, ive only been able to get out a handful of times ,and not got a great deal, although i did see a purple emp at ferymn woods, that a first for me ,anyway fingers crossed
