DORSET

We had a few days in Dorset, hoping for Chalkhill Blue. We went to 5 or 6 recommended
sites but no luck but I did take what I think was our only Adonis (a first for us)  which was 
promptly flushed by a dog. Also, it was only the second time that we have seen Little Blue.
We did manage to see a few Lulworth Skipper, our first in this country.
We also went to Throop Mill for Brown Hawker and saw at least a 
dozen (also a first) but they never once landed so no pictures.

WE GOT THE BLUES

We went to Collard Hill for the Large Blue and managed to see 5 or 6 individuals. This is a first for us having failed on several previous attempts. A little disappointed that we couldn't get a better picture of them with open wings but they rarely bask with them open. 
We also went to a fantastic reserve called Westhay Moor hoping for Hairy Dragonfly, we saw a few but could get no pictures. Another one for next year.

A few days away.

At the beginning of the week we were staying in Winchester so we went across to Bentley Wood hoping for Purple Emperor, no such luck. We also called in at Collard Hill on the way up and back for Large Blue but all we got for our troubles was a Marbled White and a lot of rain.
