Despite living reasonably close for most of my life this was my first visit here. By now the weather had cooled and it was mostly overcast. Still good numbers of Early Purple Orchids and Cowslips with a few butterflies on the north facing slope with Duke of Burgundys and Grizzled Skipper the best and Small Heath the most numerous. Precious little birdlife other than a few skylarks and not much in the way of insects although a late find of Xanthogramma citrofasciatum, new for me, was easily the 'find of the day' and pictured here.
