Does anyone have a reliable site for ES in Norfolk - prereably near Kelling Heath area, and will they be flying w/c 10/7?

Thanks.

Flying now, I had one yesterday, but numbers not built up yet.
http://www.norfolkbutterflies.co.uk/species/essex.shtml has the millenium atlas distribution, while http://www.norfolkbutterflies.co.uk/maps/tg12.shtml has the interactive map for 2001-2010. It's found in every tetrad around Buxton, and on the heath itself - but absolute best sites are coastal. But it's not an uncommon butterfly - you should connect with it most places
