Wild Carrot

20 August 2013
Hundreds of butterflies of thirteen species were out in the sunshine. Most of these were Large Whites but Common Blues were present in their hundreds in the meadows of Lancing Ring Nature Reserve which also hosted my first Brown Argus Butterflies seen this year. Wall Browns (25+) were all over the well used paths with a few in the meadows where three male Chalkhill Blues fluttered in the afternoon sunshine.
