Good forecast for the South East

[millerd]

The current weather forecast for the next few days doesn't look too bad - for London and the SE at any rate. 20 degrees (maybe more), some sun and southerly breezes. There could be a few more Clouded Yellows about blown across the Channel, and maybe the odd third brood Common Blue, Small Copper, Brown Argus and Wall.

Unfortunately, I have a weekend in Somerset coming up, where it won't be quite so clement.

Trust me to pick this weekend to go to the Isle of Man.

Clouded Yellows have been on my mind for a few weeks now and I reckon anyone living in the south east could potentially experience the best weekend of the year for seeing them this Saturday and Sunday.

Good luck.

I think the Davids could be right. I'm expecting some UK-born Clouded Yellows to start emerging fairly soon too. There's been a steady trickle of CYs through Sussex since late July ..... and they only ever came to lay eggs.

Keep us posted, Neil. It was worth taking a day off work two years ago to see the hundreds near Beachy Head, and it would be again.

Oooh, I'm heading to Arne in Dorset on Sunday, then Cornwall and Scilly in mid October. Fingers crossed!!!

Hi Dave/all,
Will keep you up-to-date if any CY appear. I'm optimistic.
