   Jeremy Tatum writes:  This afternoon, July 28, I saw a Grey Hairstreak nectaring on Pearly Everlasting along Goldstream Heights Road.  That was the only butterfly I saw in that area.  Later, Bill Savale pointed out to me a Mylitta Crescent along the railway line just north of Malahat Station.  This evening, at 6:30 pm, there was a West Coast Lady and a Painted Lady on the Mount Tolmie reservoir, and three more Painted Ladies near the Jeffery Pine.

   More tomorrow morning…
