A rather early sighting of a fresh male Long-tailed Blue in a garden in Ipswich, Suffolk by Neil Sherman on 9th July. Reported on Twitter (with photograph) https://twitter.com/neilshermanmoth/sta ... pdates.php
Another, this time a female, was photographed on Everlasting Pea in a garden in Hassocks, Sussex by Gary Faulkner on 23rd July. Reported on Sussex BC website http://www.sussex-butterflies.org.uk/sightings/
