I took the kids to Windover Hill in East Sussex looking for Grayling. It's a bit of a trek to the top but I had read that it was the top of the hill on gravelly ground where the Grayling could be found. There were loads of chalkhill blues around, as well as common blue, silver spotted skippers, meadow browns, gatekeepers, small whites and some marbled whites which were in good nick. I assume the butterflies emerge later here than at Denbies. After looking everywhere that seemed suitable without luck we headed back down a different path and there it was, sitting in front of us.

We only saw the one but that was enough. It was very windy so not really suitable for butterfly photography but at least this little chap was sitting on something that wasn't being blown around in the wind! A life tick for me as well as number 42 on the list.
