We walked along the beach with Philip and Seppi and then they left for Gatwick around 12:30. After lunch I decided to return to Cissbury Ring to try for some more shots of the Marbled White and Dark Green Fritillary.
The Marbled Whites were in the east ditch and the Dark Green Fritillaries on the top among the blackberry flowers.
I found a pair mating, and more males piled in for a piece of the action. The coupling pair then flew a long way off.

I saw this same rabbit yesterday
Colin,
ReplyDeleteThis must have been the young rabitt at the bottom of the Ring just before the parking spot. Is that 3 DG Frittilaries on one photo ?
Cissbury Ring is wonderfully unique !
Philip
Yes, the same rabbit. There are four DGFs, two males trying to disturb the happy couple!
