Finally managed to see a flying Brown Hairstreak in Essex. @lizgoodyear.bsky.social and I have found many eggs at Claybury Park (over a hundred last winter) but, until this morning, I hadn’t seen an adult there. @bc-cambs-essex.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social

Paid a flying visit to the eastern fells yesterday hoping to catch a very early Mountain Ringlet and ended up seeing the start of a full emergence. I counted nearly 30 in fairly chilly, often overcast conditions. @savebutterflies.bsky.social @richardfoxbc.bsky.social
