Also had a Brown Argus at Risby yesterday. It was certainly alive with large numbers of butterflies both along the public footpath and on the heathland itself. Great to see.

I totally agree, not seen as many butterflies since visiting Butterwick Hale last year. It was such a joy to see so many.

I could even have seen you but having never met you before not sure what you look like.

Cheers

John

PS: Graylings were seen by another guy but not me, I didn't venture south.
