This morning I did another transect at Mill Hill. Butterflies were few in species and numbers.
I recorded 4 Adonis Blue, 2 Large Skippers, 3 Meadow Browns, 3 Red Admirals, 2 Small Blues, 17 Small Heaths, 1 Small Tortoiseshell. I also saw two partridges fly off together at the top of the hill. The Adonis Blues counts for six weeks are 2 - 112 - 182 - 69 - 14 - 4

I have never seen a Small Blue on the lower slopes or the upper slopes yet. There is always a first time.

This was on the lower slope. I think I saw one on the upper slope - NW corner, but couldn't be sure.
