Devil's Dyke (July Course) 11/07/13
An early start (arrived at 7:30am) provided a great chance to see roosting Chalkhill Blues, and see the orchids in good light. I got some nice shots of the Lizard Orchids, which has just peaked but still found some in OK condition. It was also lovely to see the Marbled Whites roosting and slowly waking up and stretching out their wings as the day warmed. And I had a stroke of luck when a sleepy Chalkhill found it great fun to sit on my finger and probe for salts, he was there for ages and it was lovely experience to see him up so close :-) He also had a bit of grass stuck to his proboscis which was funny.
