It is an incredibly good place to enjoy butterflies, despite it being so close to the M40! This year, I was keen to to get some pics of some fresh Chalkhill Blues as last year the majority I photographed were a little tatty!
After the short walk from the car park, I'd been on site no more than 2 minutes before I came across my first few Chalkhill Blues roosting on grass stems and drying out their wings.
There were good numbers of Chalkhills around including a pair in cop. The male was a really stonking, fresh looking one.
There were plenty of other things to see with 3 fresh Silver-Spotted Skippers, several mostly worn Marbled White & 3 very fresh male Brown Argus among the highlights.
It was then time to head home as I had plans, but a very successful little outing!
