12.15 - 13.00. Walked from Faulston Down Farm to the Middleton Down turning. It has probably not been reflected in the sightings I have been uploading, because of the locations that they have been for, but this looks like an exception Holly Blue year with it not being uncommon to see a dozen along a relatively short stretch of woodland edge, or along one side of a field hedge boundary. I don't ever recall seeing so many.
