| female Silver-spotted Skipper, Hesperia comma |
Yesterday afternoon I visited Cissbury Ring again and saw seven Silver-spotted Skippers. Two pairs were in flight, another flew on its own and two were roosting. Neil Hulme had alerted me a few days ago that the small colony he found there last year had grown considerably. You can read his full story about the expansion of the Silver-spotted Skippers in West Sussex here.
I also saw a Clouded Yellow twice, once on the path from the car park and once on the Silver-spotted Skipper meadow.
