Great to hear from you Chris - thank you for the compliment. I went back there today to try to get some better open-winged shot but they were so active I'm not sure I succeeded. I have just got too used to taking photos in the rain and this strange bright light in the sky has completely thrown me

I felt a great deal more relaxed at this site today as the place was initially crawling with police. I parked my car behind one of the police cars and felt it would be quite safe there. The site is looking lovely but despite notices warning of the danger of rock fall I was quite alarmed to see a man with a boy of about 10 years climbing quite high up the chalky face near the Peregrines. The place was teeming with butterflies today and it is no co-incidence that the street next to the site is called 'Butterfly Drive'. There is also a 'Lime Grove' and I think it was these trees which were responsible for the heavenly smell when I arrived this morning.
There were a number of shiny green beetles - I wonder if anyone can tell me what they are?
Before I left I took a couple of photos of the site looking in different directions. In one, the Spinneker Tower at Gunwharf can be seen along with clear views to the IOW and the other shows a section of the site itself.
