Sunday, August 21

A clear blue sky this morning and hardly any wind. I just had to go out! We went to Bratton Camp and Whitesheet Hill, both in Wiltshire. I saw Wall butterflies at both sites.

There were plenty of butterfly-attracting wildflowers at Whitesheet Hill and loads of Meadow Brown butterflies about. I also saw a Small Heath, Common Blue and Chalkhill Blue, Large White, Small Tortoiseshell and Speckled Wood butterflies.

I'd hoped to see a Clouded Yellow butterfly but no such luck. Still it was a great day to be out in the lovely sunshine and not too hot now.
