14.15 - 15.00. Walk along sunny rides in north-east area from Ebsbury through the Haddon area. Most RAs, Ps, SWFs and the PL seen nectaring on Hemp Agrimony in sunny sections. SFW include one valezina (photo uploaded), first seen in flight, moving sluggishly along the ride. My initial reaction was what a large SpW; SpW are so thin on the ground this year I am getting out of practice!
