⚽️ FA Cup 4th qualifying round, Sutton Utd 1 Truro City 0: we edged past opponents going well at the level below, a goal off the post in the first half proving decisive, though it was backs to the wall for much of the second half. Midweek replay in Cornwall narrowly averted! Through to the 1st round.

☀️13c with a cool offshore breeze for this mornings walk at Southbourne. Along the wind free undercliff I was greeted with dozens of nectaring Clouded Yellows. A total count of 75 including 5 of the helice form. This species continues to have an amazing year. @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social

The last hurrah in my VC15 trap brought a stunning Merveille du Jour which is by no means annual here, with smattering of migrants which have probably been around a while.
