| Heliconius hortense, Mexican Longwing |
Yesterday morning I joined Mark and Susie at the Earnley Butterfly exhibit near Chichester. It was on a completely different scale from Wisley and was a more enjoyable experience. It was housed in one modest sized greenhouse and there were few people around which made it much easier to take photos. There were plenty of butterflies around of varying condition, but enough good ones to make it a very worthwhile outing. There is also a small zoo with a reptile house, birds and mammals to make an enjoyable outing for children. Plus a cafe where we enjoyed tea and coffee. Afterwards I visited Brandy Hole Copse nature reserve where I had my lunch by the pond. As expected there was plenty of frog spawn around.
