3rd September
Went to Noar Hill for Autumn Ladies Tresses which I found in reasonable numbers. Also a few Autumn Gentians were seen but very small examples. Little in the way of butterflies.
A nice lady pointed me at a site for Marsh Gentian to see tomorrow.
At Tice's Meadow no sign off any Willow Emeralds but a couple of very flighty Clouded Yellows was nice. A Migrant Hawker posed nicely but my pictures are pretty awful. Before leaving it was nice to see a Hobby perched on an electricity pylon and some extremely distant Whinchat
4th September
Back to Lymington to meet my prospective landlord/landlady (now are!) after which I went to Pennington/Keyhaven marshes which was very gloomy. So gloomy in fact that I overlooked the Pectoral Sandpiper until told where it was. It was also nice to see a few Little Stints and Curlew Sandpiper. Also a nice Winchat which showed much better than the Tice's Meadow ones.
Based on the lady from yesterdays help I went to King's Hat in the New Forest and found about 20 Marsh Gentians.
