| Holly Blue on Valerian |
Yesterday afternoon I visited Steyning as reports on the BC-Sussex site were coming in of Brown Hairstreaks emerging in Sussex. A cyclist asked me what was attracting photographers as there were several at the site earlier in the day. Although I didn’t find a Brown Hairstreak, I did come across a very obliging Holly Blue nectaring on Valerian on the northwest end of the upper slope. There were many Gatekeepers and Meadow Browns plus Peacocks, Red Admirals, a Wall, Green-veined White, Speckled Wood and Common Blue. I also found a glistening slow-worm.
