| Brimstones, Gonepteryx rhamni |
On Monday I did my first butterfly transect of the year at
Mill Hill. The weather forecast was for the hottest day of the week up to
Tuesday, and this was confirmed with an average 18 DegC. Brimstones were
seen throughout the walk and included a male chasing a female several times.
Two and three Peacocks gave aerial combat displays and Small Tortoiseshells and
Peacocks nectared on Wood Violets.
I then visited the colony of Wall Lizards by the Shingle
Beach west of the River Adur. Finally I called in at Widewater where a Little
Egret, Redshank and Meadow Pipit gave me some photo opportunities.
