Not an actual sighting but a hoped-for sighting.

There would seem to be a decent weather window coming up next Tuesday 14th June.

Any reports yet of HB Frit at Arnside?

Still hoping for some info before I commit myself to expensive accommodation. Weather for Tuesday still looking good.

So are there any reports of HB Frits and Northern Brown Argus at Arnside?

Can't speak for Arnside, Jack, but the transect walker at the Alun Valley site in Wales confirmed that the first HBF recorded there this year was on 2nd July.

I paid a visit to Arnside Knott on Saturday (11th June). the weather was warm and sunny. There were plenty of SPBF and a few NBA flying but no HBF or DGF on the wing. I'd be inclined to leave your visit until at least the following week Jack.

Thanks Phil. I had already decided that it's not worth the gamble.
