A superb site in NE Hants. Famed for its odonata (21 Species seen today including 5 Brilliant Emerald!) however turns out it ain't bad for butterflies either. Highlights today:
30 Marbled Whites (a very scarce species locally, this being the only sustainable population in hart valley.
250+ Skipper sp including a number of Essex
5 Dark Green Fritillary (only ones in NE Hampshire as far as I'm aware)
1 Purple Emperor
20+ White Admirals
4 Grayling
Definitely a site that deserves further exploration
