LATE FLUTTERINGS

As summer draws to a close,afternoons like todays have to be cherished and stored up for the long winter ahead.It was good to see the late flutter of tiny wings as the long tailed blues came out to enjoy the warm sunshine,there were also good numbers of Adonis,common, and chalk hill blues on show some still fresh looking.

In addition to the above there were brown argus and common blue,small copper,small tortoishell and a single clouded yellow of note.

In the morning a quick stroll along the pier saw a common seal on the hoverpad and a female common scoter in the outer harbour,sadly it appears to have some fishing net or line around its neck,an uncertain future awaits.
