With a sunny day forecast went to BBOWT Yoesdon Bank hoping to
find adonis blue butterflies, (named after the Greek god of beauty and
desire). Found good numbers of this little gem. No females found but
others there did find some.
Other species of butterfly seen included chalk
hill blues (both male and female).
Brown argus, small heath, meadow brown,
one brimstone and several whites.
Also many other insects and
grasshoppers on and among the wild flowers at this site.
Good to see the
Chiltern gentian growing well there. Stewart. Images Copyright : Stewart Dennis.
