North East England

OK guys (and Gals),
Are there any decent sites up near the Scottish borders on the Eastern side of England where some of the Northern species may be found at present. I may well be up near Berwick on Tweed sometime next week and although it isn't a butterfly trip, I may have a few hours to spot some species new to me, so a few starting places would be gratefully received. Any suggestions welcome.

Wrong side of the Country I fear?

How about St. Abb's head, meant to be good for Argus and Blues (not been myself), and not sure what's around at the moment, but it might be worth a try?

Yep, that's one place I will definitely try - stupidly, I didn't realise how close it was

That may give me a NBA. Scotch Argus would probably be a bit further afield, if indeed there are any left!?

I noticed from our sites page that 'Hare and Dunhog Moss' near Selkirk has Scotch Argus... On investigating further, I found that there is generally no access to Dunhog moss, but there is a bird hide on Hare Moss to which there must be a path. Has anyone actually been to this site and if so, where do you gain access/any tips for finding the butterflies there?

Cheers,
