| Silver-washed Fritillary ♂, Argynnis paphia |
On Monday afternoon I visited Kithurst meadow and found it in excellent condition with tall patches of Hemp Agrimony and plenty of Marjoram giving the air a lovely scent. There were not many Chalkhill Blues, which seems to be a continuing pattern for the Blues this year. There were plenty of butterfly species, including a couple of Painted Ladies. I returned on Tuesday where I met Mark and we saw Su and Heidi who showed us the patch of Hemp Agrimony where the White-letter Hairstreak was seen recently. A male and female Silver-washed Fritillary nectared on the Hemp Agrimony.
