A walk at Overstrand this morning revealed that at least a dozen Green Hairstreaks were present on the clifftop vegetation, with these being the first ones that I've ever seen there.
Other new butterflies for the year noted were at least one Wall, a Large White and a Small Tortoiseshell. A Hobby drifted over and a Large Red Damselfly was also seen.
Following a tip off, the afternoon was spent enjoying a number of freshly emerged Marsh Fritillaries which had been unofficially introduced to a site along the coast, and although initially elusive they eventually gave excellent views and were incredibly photogenic too.
