| Duke of Burgundy, Hamearis lucina |
I headed to Heyshott Escarpment to count the Duke of Burgundy emergence. There was 50% cloud cover and I spotted Dukes soon after arriving. A few other other enthusiasts were also on the hill. I counted 18 Dukes, 12 Dingy Skippers, one Holly Blue and a female Brimstone.
I then called in at Kithurst Hill and met Neil Hulme who had seen 5 Dukes, including a mating pair. There I saw one Green Hairstreak, a Duke, a Dingy Skipper and a Burnett Companion moth.
