A let up in the drizzle so Ellie and I headed off to Thurlbear Quarrylands for a return visit in the hope of seeing soem hairstreaks. We arrived mid-afternoon and before long it had got rather warm.

We saw three Silver-washed Fritillarys, including this rather tatty individual:
As we continued our walk around we also saw a Red Admiral, a couple of Brown Argus and loads of Common Blues:
