On August 6 I attended a plant id course at Chichester Harbour then called in at Houghton Forest.

  I saw plenty of Walls during my Mill Hill transect on August 7. Survey results: Brimstone, Chalkhill Blue 39, Comma, Common Blue 13, Essex Skipper 4, Gatekeeper 30, Meadow Brown 32, Peacock 10, Red Admiral 6, Small Heath, Small Skipper, Small White 3, Wall 9, Humming-bird Hawk-moth, Lesser Treble-bar 2. I thought I saw a Grizzled Skipper in flight but couldn' t be sure.   
 Afterwards I called at Steyning Downland Scheme and saw a Clouded Yellow, a Painted Lady plus Holly Blues, Meadow Browns, Gatekeepers, Small Skippers, Brimstones, Wall, Small Heath, Peacocks, Marbled White. I tried to capture open wing shots of Brimstones with one success.
