Gary sent in this photo telling us:

We  have just returned to Dorset for a few days and are delighted to find the butterflies still so active. We have already been to Durlston CP and Chapman’s Pool and seen Clouded Yellow, Red Admiral, Speckled Woods, Common Blue, Small White and Small  Heath butterflies. This Small Heath was seen today, 26/09/2026 on West Hill, Hill Bottom between Worth Matravers and Chapman’s Pool.
