Fleam Dyke visit - 30 July 2014

Eleven members enjoyed an outing to Fleam Dyke on Wednesday 30 July; it turned out to be a beautiful summer morning. The sunshine brought out the butterflies, in particular the Chalkhill blues in large numbers for which this site is well known.  We saw other species of butterflies too including one Marbled white which is fairly uncommon here. The flowers were not as good this year as at the same time last year, probably due to the weather conditions which had encouraged them to flower two or three weeks earlier.

A most enjoyable summer morning outing.
