Explore the diverse flora and fauna on the Downs from season to season through personal observations and photographs

Little to add to yesterday but I have seen the first European Peacock butterfly (Aglais io) of the year as well as the first Dark-edged Bee-fly (Bombylius major). One of the gorse bushes that is almost in full bloom hosted a swarm of small moths that certainly belong to the genus Cydia, most likely the Common Gorse Moth (Cydia ulecitana).
