Silver-spotted Skippers and Chalkhill Blues
5 Aug - A visit to Linkey Down NNR at Aston Rowant, in late morning sunshine, and large numbers of butterflies on the wing over the steep slopes - including 30+ Chalkhill Blues (7), and at least 8 Silver-spotted Skippers (4-5), buzzing low over the turf. Also seen - 2 Essex Skippers (6), 6 Brown Argus (2), a Marbled White, 4 Small Heath (3) and many Meadow Browns. All photos JM.
