What is likely to be the first Adonis Blue reported to Dorset BC this year was seen today in Ulwell.

Andy Martin was enjoying a brief lunch time walk at Ulwell this morning, 30/04/2022 and was delighted to see this lovely Adonis Blue on the hillside – this is first one he has seen this year.

This stunning, most brilliantly coloured of our blues is one we all really like to see and this sighting of one is 7 days earlier than the first sighting of one reported to Dorset BC last year which was on 07/05/2021.
