On Tuesday I did my Mill
Hill transect where the Dingy Skippers are peaking (16), the Green Hairstreaks
are doing well (3), Grizzled Skippers are still around (2) and my first Adonis
Blue appeared (2) There were also Brimstone (5), Green-veined White (2),Large White (1) and Peacock
(1) plus Treble-bar moths (2). I then visited Anchor Bottom where it was too windy and Chantry Hill where I found several
specimens of a micromoth, Epiblema scutulana, plus many Green Hairstreaks
tumbling in the air and landing in front of me, also a female egg laying in the grass.
