Sadly, we only got fleeting glimpses of BH, then the sun disappeared as we entered Stockbridge Down, sending the SSS to ground. Some persistent searching and Gruditch's x-ray vision unearthed the first. forgetting how to operate my camera, I managed to send the insect away without a shot being fired. A couple more were discovered and I believe all of us got photos of sorts. Mine are not competition winners but I'm entirely satisfied that the trip was worthwhile. And I got to meet some smashing UKB members.
Other species encountered were brown argus, common blue, chalkhill blue, small copper, the inevitable meadow brown and some amazing wasp spiders.
