Today, I finally caught up with the Queen of Spain fritillaries that have been hanging around a 'west Wight' site for a couple of weeks or so (since end of July). We saw at least two together but likely a total of three have been reported. And more have since been found at other Island locations and on the mainland too. A rare migrant to the UK. They were quite active but I managed some phone camera record shots at least. Also, four HB Hawkmoths seen. Otherwise: the bright sunny warm days continue unabated with another 'heatwave' forecast.
