Wildlife especially butterflies in Dorset

@wren_franklin @BC_Dorset @savebutterflies @_fredfranklin3 Amazing! You seem to be getting there so quickly. Wonder if it feels quick to you and Fred?

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

@martinswarren @BC_Dorset We had what seemed like a particularly small female Orange-Tip in our garden.

@sb264449 Ermine moth caterpillars? I'd guess Spindle Ermine, but not an expert

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

@Joe_stockwell @PortlandBirdObs We'd be really grateful if you'd submit this record via the Dorset butterflies website or iRecord. @BC_Dorset.

Brimstone in the garden today and another seen on the way to the @BC_Dorset AGM. Fascinating talk by @wren_franklin

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

@martinswarren @Cornwall_BC Do you know if they were coming or going Martin? Or just enjoying being in Cornwall?

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

@tom_m_brereton @PortlandBirdObs @naturetrektours Hi Tom, do you add your sightings to our website or iRecord? We would really appreciate this - it's late for a Chalkhill Blue isn't it?

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

@daisymeadowcrof @DorsetWildlife @jamezcartwright @SebHaggett What a beautiful spider. I've never seen one like that

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

@SwaySteveK @MigrantMothUK Thank you!

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

So excited to find these cinnabar moth caterpillars in the garden. Have loved them since childhood holidays when we used to play with them, making homes on the cliffs for them. I know, we don't do that any more!

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

@martinswarren @savebutterflies A butterfly for which the description "perky" might have been invented

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

@MadDogRudeMan Do you submit your records? @Bc_dorset would really like this record as we don't have many Purple Hairstreak records for this area.

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

@GerryHinde @ChrisGPackham @savebutterflies Let's hope so. We've all got our fingers crossed

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

A very prickly transect walk at Bishop's Court yesterday where the thistles are having a ball. @BC_Dorset

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

@RichardFoxBC Didn't know they bred on Holly Blue. I'd better have a look at my Alder Buckthorn now

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

@lynda_lambert @Butterfly_bros @HantsIoWBC @Britnatureguide @Natures_Voice @savebutterflies We saw lots at Compton Down yesterday Lyn.

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

Excellent afternoon at Compton Down for the @BC_Dorset guided walk. 22 species. So many Small Blues and Adonis.

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

@mgtr8 Any idea why Martin? My garden is FULL of garlic mustard, but not too many Orange Tip caterpillars.

[Robin George @BflyRobin]

@daisymeadowcrof @DorsetWildlife @BC_Dorset @savebutterflies @SightingDOR That must have been a long, hot walk today. Lovely
