pleased you managed a couple Purplepalpatine ones and twos have now been reported from several sections ,for anyone visiting its well worth a look in Longrope wood (across the road ) puts me in mind of a gent that had travelled from West Cornwall a few years back for Long-tailed Blue (at Kingsdown,...

Just wondering whether any Pearls are about yet and the best sites for them in southern England. The closer to Herts the better

Thank you

Apologies because this is possibly bending the rules as it’s not about actual sightings - it's more about potential sightings and is meant as a stimulus for a friendly chat about butterfly spotting. I’m in my 50s and have spent a relatively sheltered life as far as seeking butterflies is concerned....

Fabulous capture, as I have never had the fortune to see a Long tailed Blue, I hope you don’t mind me asking where this was in Sussex. Fully understand if you are unable to.
