On 25.05.17 I had my first Painted Lady of the year at Bennane Lea, NX09128668. Also my first Red Admiral between Lendalfoot and Colmonell NX15508710. Large Skippers out near Lendalfoot on the coast
Similarly, I saw my first Painted Lady of the year today at Dundonald Links golf course in Irvine, with a Red Admiral at the adjacent Gailes Marsh SWT reserve. No Small Blues out yet though.
