On Saturday I visited Cissbury Ring and met Mavis who was also pursuing the Silver-spotted Skippers. I saw 6, including a courting pair, plus 6 Painted Ladies, a female Common Blue, Small Heaths, Meadow Browns, Brimstones, courting Chalk Hill Blues, Gatekeepers, Small Skippers and a Red Twin-spot Carpet moth. The Painted Ladies may be the vanguard of the expected large scale invasion.
