Notes:
This is the first ever sighting by me of a Grayling at Kingston
(though tI saw them locally sevweral years ago at Shepherdswell and Folkestone Warren)
Commas and Red Admirals were
still being seen on the wing as late as 27 October
The above represents the list of all butterfly species I have previously seen in Kingston
