Not sure of the best times but if you look back to my post in this thread, we saw quite a few back in February!

My favourite site for local creepy crawly wildlife on the Great Orme and Llandudno. As documented by Jenni Cox.

Cheers ME,
 Im in llandudno quite often, but never been on the Little Orme & quite fancy a walk round it, & to see the seals would be a bonus.
Up to now, I know that I will be in llandudno in early July, early September & early Feb, so I will make sure I go there in Feb, but I may go there sooner, just for a walk.

The Little Orme is far wilder than the Great Orme and has some very dangerous cliffs. A sensible idea might be to get hold of some kind of 'set' walk to start with-- just to get an idea of the lie of the land.

I've been seeing a few of those, Jack. Must be the hot weather, but they're stunningly beautiful when on the wing.

You often see a Dragonfly around the upper pool in Happy Valley.

We were having a meal outside in our garden last night and the resident Sparrow Hawk must have had the same idea because he was sitting by the bird feeders under the Dovecote.   My wife saw him first and got up and then he flew away pretty quickly but I know he'll come back soon.   :(

I had a walk in Cwm Ystradlyn today and we were surprised by the number of small white butterflies that were everywhere.   There were other types too including Peacock and Red Admiral Butterflies

There do seem to be loads of butterflies around at the moment. I took these photos today.
