Chequered Skipper reported on the wing at Glasdrum
First CS report for the year that I have seen today.
Re: Chequered Skipper reported on the wing at Glasdrum
I wondered how long it would be given the excellent conditions in the west of Scotland lately. Let's hope they get a decent flight period up there.

Re: Chequered Skipper reported on the wing at Glasdrum
Hi Scott - would you (the local expert) consider this early? I'm wondering if the main flight period may have shifted forward a week or two. I might have to change my plansScottD wrote:First CS report for the year that I have seen today.

Hi Pete,
I wouldn't consider myself expert - for that I would suggest Andrew Masterman or Tom Prescott. However, we have been experiencing terrific weather for the last week or so - the question is for how much longer?
