Dingy Skippers (Erynnis tages):
Up to six Dingy Skippers (Erynnis tages) have been flying for the past week at their new colony in Higher Poynton. I have been unable to find any Bird's-foot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) at the site, so am unsure as to what their foodplant is. Last Monday another colony was found at Higher Disley, a site known to contain Bird's-foot Trefoil. I believe that Geoff Wotherspoon has also found another colony near Chester.
