Still got Red Admiral and Speckled wood - and a couple of Common Darter around near Gatwick.

Been seeing a few dragonflies too (maybe one for an october odanata thread) - Is Common Darter the default late autumn dragonfly then?

I had Peacock, Brimstone, Red Admiral, Speckled Wood, Comma and Small Copper, Common Darter and Southern Hawker on the 25th and Migrant Hawker yesterday, Have had Common Darter into the first week of December before now. The chilly overnighter last night might have put paid to some of the later fliers though.

At least one Red Admiral flying around Bowood near Calne this afternoon.

A thread for November butterflies?
