Rob sent in these two photos with the following comments:

Over the last couple of days, 2nd/3rd July I have managed to complete 3 walks in my designated Km squares in North Dorset. 

Highlights have been the sheer numbers of Green-veined Whites and Meadow Browns. Also saw a Scarlet Tiger moth, a Brown Argus and an errant White Admiral speeding across a hillside – no photo for this but a snapshot in my mind.
