David tells us :

On 28th July, I spotted this Grayling trying to get into my kitchen in Lower Parkstone, Poole! After giving up, he re-fuelled on a nearby Buddleia. Grayling are now showing in several unlikely places in our area. We suspect they come from Parkstone golf course.

David is right, they have been recently been reported in an urban garden in Broadstone and another in a rural garden at Harman’s Cross.
