I took the chance to team up with Lloyd Evans (who I met at Upton Warren) for a trip down the M40 to see one of the last butterflies to emerge in the calendar year which was the Silver-spotted Skipper.  Llloys knew the site well but we did have to wait a while until the temperature warmed up a little before we got the excellent views we wanted. We also recorded good numbers of Chalk Hill Blues, Painted Ladys and a single Adonis Blue (poor photo as buried). Many thanks to Lloyds for a super morning.
