Yet more garden goodies On Sunday

On 18 July very early in the morning at 7.05am, 2 fine Painted Ladies were seen on the main garden Buddlea. On Thursday 21st July after work, I counted 28 Broad leaved Helleborines in a local wood. There were several by the side of the path, with 1 giant one, caged a little too tightly for my liking and around 5 caged a the wooded area but another 7 were so just by this area uncaged and a worry was a sprig of Japanese Knotweed. In the grassy area, 5 were seen. Then on Saturday 23rd July at 1.15pm, a fine Grayling seen in the garden but soon flew off. Later Saturday 23rd June, on a walk along Gunton Cliff, no sign of any WL Hairsteaks although a fine Purple Hairstreak was seen on the lower leaves of an ash tree at 3.30pm. At Corton woods, I saw a single White letter Hairstreak fly up and several Commas seen here too plus a female Brown Hawker. Later in the garden, a Migrant Hawker seen hunting.
