Jenna and I went to Lulworth, Dorset, today in an attempt to see the Lulworth skipper, another butterfly that we both needed. One of our tiniest butterflies, the Lulworth Skipper, is only found in the far south of Dorset, where it is abundant along a section of coastline that is centred on the village of Lulworth, where the species was initially identified in 1832.
As soon as we arrived, we made a beeline for the location and quickly located our first Lulworth Skipper.
A corn bunting appeared at the top of a thicket and began to sing as we were leaving the Lulworth Skipper.
I haven't seen a corn bunting in a few years, and this one showed well. Other noteworthy insects and butterflies found there were:
Brown Argus
Common Blue
Jenna found this little monster!
Great green bush cricket
Common Blue
GateKeeper
Marbled White
Red Admiral
