I was in two minds where to go for Lulworth Skippers on Friday but I plumped for Corfe Castle National Trust car park just off the A351. It was quite windy and this did at least give a bit of shelter, still not great for photos though. Note how olive the male is and the sun-ray of markings on the wing of the female. Also present, Marbled White, Large Skipper & Small Tortoiseshell.

Earlier, I'd finally seen a Black Hairstreak, well about six actually, at two sites in Buckinghamshire, I am indebted to Paul James, Dave Potter and the people on site for their help in this quest. Again, not great photos but it was my 54th butterfly species in the UK so I'm not complaining!
