Peacock, Inachis io |
On Saturday I rose early and arrived at Kithurst Hill at 7am. There was extensive cloud cover and I didn't find many roosting Chalkhill Blues. On the bank the light levels were too low for photos as it is shaded from the early morning sun. As the sun rose the Chalkhill activity increased until by 9am the west side of the meadow was alive with the light blue flutterings.
