 11.15 - 13.30. Walked from Ugford Red buildings to the Grovely entrance at Lodge Coppice. Not what I was expecting - hardly any ivy giving up its nectar yet, so very few RAs seen, which is what I had hoped to see. I'm not complaining though! First Cs and Bs that I have seen for quite some time. BH seen settled at SU028333. ClY include 1 helice, a mating pair (photo uploaded), and one egg-laying female.
