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

Saturday, 10 May 2025

Both Green Hairstreak (Callophrys rubi) and Small Heath (Coenonympha pamphilus) butterflies are out in good numbers today, as are Common Blue (Polyommatus icarus). Also my first sighting on the Downs of the Rustic Sailor Beetle (Cantharis rustica).

Latest flowers to appear are Common Columbine (Aquilegia vulgaris) and Common Sorrel (Rumex acetosa).
