It was Monday 25 May, a public holiday in the UK and forecast to be the hottest day of the year so far, so I was up at 5.30 and out the door at 7am to try to get a walk in before the heat got too much for me (I do NOT like the heat!). To take advantage of the slight sea breeze and as the timing seemed about right, I decided to walk along the cliff-top coastal path, thinking I’d check the area where I found my first Large skipper butterfly last year. Et voilà! It wasn’t the exact same place but it was close, and I was able to scuttle home before I melted.
