| White-letter Hairstreak, Satyrium w-album |
Last Thursday I did my Mill Hill butterfly transect with the
following results: Brimstone 1,
Chalkhill Blue 11, Gatekeeper 55,
Marbled White 49, Meadow Brown 50, Ringlet 1, Small Heath 6, Small Tortoiseshell
2, Small White 7, other Whites 2. Marbled Whites and Gatekeepers were present in
record numbers.
I then visited Hollingbury Park, Brighton and as soon as I
started searching the thistle flowers I saw two White-letter Hairstreaks. I saw
at least three during the next 70 minutes, and was rarely without one in the viewfinder.
