[QUOTE="Jos Stratford, post: 3606751, member: 12449"] [B][U]19 August. Tatty Ends.[/U][/B] Some superb fresh[B] Queen of Spain Fritillaries[/B] on the wing this day, emergences of[B] Eastern Bath Whites[/B], [B]Red Admirals[/B] and large numbers of[B] Common Blues [/B]too. In the far south, in temperatures of 32 C, still plenty of[B] Chalkhill Blues[/B], plus what will surely be my last [B]Meleager's Blue[/B] of the year, a rather tatty female, and probably my last two [B]Marbled Whites [/B]too. Overall, 35 species this day, but still very much a picture of a season nearing its end - just a single [B]Map Butterfly[/B], no[B] Heath Fritillaries[/B] anymore and declines in many species. Amongst other highlights though, two [B]Pallas's Fritillaries[/B], eight [B]Large Grizzled Skippers[/B], a late very faded[B] Blue-spot Hairstreak [/B]and a [B]Camberwell Beauty[/B]. Closer to Vilnius, I stopped at a locality that always seems to shine late in the season - no exception this year ... amongst abundant whites, a minimum of 35[B] Eastern Bath Whites[/B] represented my highest count of the year, while [B]Pale Clouded Yellows[/B], [B]Weaver’s Fritillaries[/B] and [B]Queen of Spain Fritillaries [/B]were also in no short supply, one[B] Silver-spotted Skipper [/B]present too. Days of rain now forecast, running towards the end of the season ...still a chance of a [B]Painted Lady[/B], a species that is usually fairly common, but otherwise my Lithuanian year total seems destined to remain on 104 - equalling, but not beating, my mega 2016 total.
