A forth SW Fritillary today at Swanton Novers. All confirmed feeding \ resting butterflies and all on the same ride in the past few weeks. Also three fritillary species seen but not confirmed , but probably SWF though DG frilillaries have been recorded a number of times in the past and cant be ruled out. As all comfirmed and 2 of the possible records have come from the same area breeding may have occoured last year during the 2010 influx , though we have no records on site.
Also first of the second brood common blues flying along with holly blue. Purple hailstreak still emerging and a couple of very fresh ringlets today. Plus a single white admiral. Dont expect to see many more of them this year.
