Thanks Mike
The weather forecast didn't look too good this afternoon so I thought I'd take the hound to Cissbury Ring and popped my camera in my bag just in case there was a butterfly or two
We had a lovely walk and I was so pleased the weather stayed fair until we got home (torrential rain now!). Billy met his double while out (we don't meet many black retriever crosses) and had a lovely race around with a saluki; with his little spaniel legs he had no chance of keeping up. While out we saw brimstones, orange tips, green veined whites, loads of peacocks, dingy skippers and also grizzled skippers, small coppers and a single wall. Three more to add to my list!
